where legends sleep
We gather now, our souls to keep
With whispered words, the ritual starts
To find the treasure, in ancient hearts
Candles flicker, symbols align,
The path revealed, by design
Through darkness we tread, with hearts afire
Seeking the gold, our sole desire.
But beware the curse, that lies in wait
Greed and lust, they seal one's fate
In this quest, let wisdom guide
For true treasure lies, deep inside"
