ANCIENT ONE - KILCHURN CASTLE

I�m an ancient building,
I�ve seen many things.
Families have come and gone,
Throughout the years.

Kings and queens have been
Born and have died here.
From natural causes, plagues
And by the enemy�s hand.

Many a enemy here have come,
Trying to cause me to fall.
But they have failed miserably,
For I am still here.

It is said that I am haunted,
That ghosts roam my halls.
It is true that ghosts live here;
They are my only company.

Now I stand empty,
No one lives here now.
I�m waiting for a new family,
To come to me.

No one comes though,
I must be covered by a veil.
For I see them ride by,
But they don�t see me.
