That old building stood in the center of town
The tallest build to been from all around
For 100 years or more it was planted firm within the ground
Years and decades would pass it by
The mysterious of what lay inside
They talk of a crazy old man
Who lived in that building since what seemed like before time began
The whole top floor you they say
Is where that old man did stay
One set of stairs would lead you up that way
Into a hall where darkness lay
A treasure some said was what was hidden behind
Thoughts of bodies they said he killed came to others mind
The tales where mainly a bunch of rumor and myth
What lay behind the secret doors on the seventy-fifth
