The Elders Below

Penetrating rays From the sun do shine Blinding eyes of man Consumed by elder hands Roots hold their feet As the tendrils strangle Drawing them below Down to the home of the ancients Great unmakers Giving death to life Undoing their own creations Vengeful and foreboding From their will they become And shall soon be undone Wisped away, underneath Merging flesh and soil Great unmakers Making life from death Great unmakers In the ground beneath Architects of old Harbingers of decay Feasting eternally Upon their meat and bone The roots take hold As rotting hands caress Delivered from being By forgotten gods of death From which they came They will now be returned From the land on which they tread To the province of the dead Their souls chained down And hope they do forgo For all their eternity owed To the Elders Below

Barren ground Where once the moss did grow Torn and tattered are these lands Raped and soiled By deeds of cruel neglect From their slumber gods awaken Revenge Rage Reclamation Regret Black now are the skies Filled with soot and smoke The sun no longer rises As dark envelops the world Subterranean might Wrath of the elders Poison winds Spread disease Spores of plague Infecting the air Clandestine providence Stachybotrys Will climb the walls As toxic death Coats the world Their revenge Will be our ruination By fathers hand We will fall Reclamation In the hands of the masters once more Rage As the weeping of mother rings Regret For the life thats been forsaken Ruination What is must be undone On the eve of our end All hope is washed away Revenge Rage Reclamation

Pale reflection Draining sempiternal eyes Caught in forever gaze With mirrors of the mind Wave destroys wave Corroding stone and shore Nebulous ocean black Swallows forevermore A glance upon the gallows The whispers of a friend Side by side with death eternal To silence the lament A feast for thought and calm of mind The whispers of the wind A tomb of ice and granite carved That our slumber might begin A soul chained down And hope I do forgo For all my eternity owed To the elders below
