---- The Superstition mountains Have a mine, or so it's told Its canyons echo riches Many died in search of gold Four rapacious desperados Rode hard into its hills In search of the Lost Dutchman But it's said that his ghost kills... They saw an onyx jaguar Dark as a holocaust It walked on ahead of them When they found that they were LOST They saw Jacob's Ladder Wraiths ascending to on high They walked under as a good sign But found this was a lie... They saw a snow white owl And asked it what to do It stared at them with golden eyes And simply answered, "Who?" They found a wooden box Carved with foreign runes They opened It expecting gems And found Pandora's DOOM They heard coyotes laughing As they closed in for the **** Those bad men found no treasure no one ever will The mountains take their toll As the outlaws will attest The sky birthed out a Blood Moon As they rode into the west...
