Enveloping darkness, dim moonlight drapes this doorway.
Leading forth into the unknown.
As i draw deeper, the howling winds fade into nothing.
Hushed footsteps are all i can hear
Trapped in hollow chambers
of cold and unending stone,
thrown into darkness,
Where death claims itโs home
Touch burning, my only companion into the
Cold and unending void.
Wrought iron, bars and shackles in-prison remains of those
from before me.
The dampness of the air, robbing me of my breath
Inner sanctum of despair, visions of the cold hand of death.
Trapped in hollow chambers
Of cold and unending stone.

A Night in the Oubliette
04:18
|
|

A dim light guides the way,
An Unforeseen void, hidden in the shadows,
Before i could scream, iโm plunged into blackness,
Crashing into the cold stone floor,
In a sea of broken bones.
Screaming into the void, no one will hear you,
Left alone and forgotten by time, deep down below
Boundless Silence, ceaseless torture
Corpses all around you, your mind melts away
With broken limbs and shattered mind, I claw at the walls,
So futile, i pray for death.
So weary, I lay my head onto the ground
Though my eyes slowly close, this rest is not sound.

The strike of my blade against these callous walls,
Shatters into pieces upon unending floors,
Shackles of rusted iron hang from every wall
Holding up the corpses of all who fell before
Sunken Sanctuary of torment and despair
Labyrinth of demise,
Chamber of stone, so cold and bleak,
Miasma of death,
This madness grows ever more
Bound by chains to ancient walls
The sound of my blade against solid stone,
Echoing in lurid chambers,
Torch post, where flames once stood,
Surrounded by chains resting on old bones
Anguish consuming, the fear of creeping death,
My sword falling at my feet
I fall once again, broken and overcome
A captive in hell
This madness grows ever more
Bound by chains to ancient walls

In Atria Mortuorum
03:46
|
|

In the halls of the dead, there is only silence and dust,
Stillness amidst bone.
Death finds its way,
In the depths its kingdom lies
Hallowed halls, where the dead make their rest,
Undisturbed by the living, on pain of death.
Those who venture forth wonโt be seen again,
Lost to the endless halls of the dead.
The way is shut.ย It was made by those who are dead, and the dead keep it.
Death finds its way,
In the depths its kingdom lies

Wandering the great halls,
Dust laden bones scatter the chamber,
These tunnels remain a mystery,
I seek to find the answer to,
But all i see is dust and bones,
In a solemn dreary place,
As my eyes wander,
All i see is death and death stares back at me,
Trapped in empty halls,
no sign of life,
Only the company of scattered remains,
The eye sockets that stare into the void,
I need to get out of here!
Whispers and voices,
Beckoning me from the darkness
Iโve lost my way,
Every tunnel looks the same,
The crack of bones beneath my feet,
Echoes through desolate halls,
My mind reels,
Swirling in sorrow and despair
I need to get out of here!
Trapped in empty halls,
No sign of life,
Only the company of scattered remains,
The eye sockets that stare into the void,
I need to get out of here!

Malevolent Umbra
04:06
|
|

Darkness upon endless chambers,
I walk these halls for hours and hours,
The clang of steel against these stone walls,
And unmistakable echo in the black,
I grip my sword, holding it near, ready to stand fight
Itโs getting closer, sound of bones, cracking beneath its feet
Malevolent Umbra!
What comes for me through the blackness?
Malevolent Umbra!
Iโll Face thee with steel and stature.
You could hear it bright as day, getting ever closer
The sounds are haunting me, fear takes hold
But i must push on, with a dim lit torch by my side,
Blade in hand i will not let this best me.
I tread the broken bones, down the unknown chambers,
Every second feels like hours.
Malevolent Umbra!
What comes for me through the blackness?
Malevolent Umbra!
Iโll Face thee with steel and stature.

Beware!
Behold!
As I behold,
Frozen in terror,
To this great creature before me.
A sight so gruesome,
Soulless and Hollow,
A carcass of malice,
Towering over me,
Staring at me through empty sockets
Drawing its sword,
Putting my own to shame,
The stench of rotted flesh that hangs from his bones disorients me,
But i draw my blade to smite this beast
But it strikes me down with one fell blow,
I cannot defeat this
I have to find an escape!
I run and run,
Hoping for an escape,
But thereโs no light to be seen,
No end of the tunnel
Beware!
Behold!
As i race through these halls,
Ancient bones grip at my feel,
As if to hold me back,
To drag me to their master,
I see in darkness glimpse of light from above,
Through the iron bars,
Pale beams of moonlight
Thrashing and fighting,
Toward the my only chance at freedom
Dragging myself upon the grass beneath the tower,
Looking back,
There stands this noble castle
It looks so tall and grand on this cold and still night,
Beware!
Behold!
