Rituals of Rotten Flesh

Solemn they await for the dying of the light For the chilling of the air and the beckoning of night For the howls of the wind and the darkening of sky For the cloaking of the fog and the blinding of the eye Solemn they await for the breaking of the chains When the sun's light dims in the waning of the day In forlorn night beneath the palemoon's glow Among the shadows cast on ground below Ghosts circle the cemetery gates In silent desperation Necromantic rites Rituals of rotten flesh A call to the beyond The raising of the dead The breaking of the chains The quelling of the pain A call to the beyond The echo from the void The necromantic rites Rituals of rotten flesh The ceremony flame A life remade And as the smoke begins to rise A signal in the moonlit night From the ashes now reborn The wretched and forgotten Unchained from shackles That bind to unlife Silencing of the shade's lament The reckoning of fallen men Cursed no more to haunt Endlessly
