There is a secret hidden out in the swamp.

Old Lonely Boat
27 July 09
The moon shines brightly
The mist over the swamp
Gives a dark feeling
Creaking
The old lonely boat
Creaking
The smell of death
Lingers about
Tied to a cypress
Hidden deep
In the swamp
Eyes have not seen
In many many years
Not living eyes
No one comes here
No one dares
Fear fills this place
Fear seeks any
That come near
Fills them deeply
Many go away
Few seek it more
Those few die
This boat of death
Who brought it here
Why hide it away
What will happen
When the rope rots
Setting the boat free
Free to drift
Out of the swamp
