Music: Count Von Shadow
Lyrics: Linda Vee/Von Shadow
This is a song about the search for the Lost Dutchman's mine in the Superstition Mountains in the Apache Junction area of Arizona.
People who go in search of the hidden cache of gold usually mysteriously disappear and it is thought that the ghost of the Dutchman is responsible....
Howls shatter the night
You better beware
Don't think about it
It's too late to care
You tread on his mountain
You've tread on your grave
Try to steal his treasure
He'll put you away
***
Huddled by a camp fire
A sky of icy stars
Praying for an answer
To who you really are
A feral voice
fills the desert air
Melting greed and passion
That first drove you there
Oh can you hear
Hear him calling
Heart blazing fear
It's close to midnight
How come I feel
Feel like I'm falling
Oh can you hear the Dutchman calling
******
Some people claim
It's a silly old tale
But the lust for gold
Has always prevailed
If you seek his treasure
In the Superstitions at night
You WILL hear him calling
So run for your life.
Many people tried
All of them failed
To unlock his secret
It sent them to hell
You feel his breath
On the back of your neck
The clock strikes midnight
The time of your death
Chorus
