Within these halls of tranquility
The hand of man is not seen
A vault of starlight
Held aloft by ancient trees
Our timeless companions
They stand watch over this sanctuary
Of primeval solitude
Ravenous hordes claw at the gates
A swarm, starved of purpose
And promised a birthright
Destined to live in hunger
Born to serve their ghoulish masters
Raze creation down to the mantle
Raise monuments to their creator
Such hollow gestures for hollow beings
Hold fast
May we find peace again
After their kingdoms fall

Oh, how the years have slipped away
Since you left your home behind
Rode off with a band of rogues
In search of giants to slay
Traded a warm hearth for nights in the dirt
Now you stand alone on the battlefield
Prepare that tired horse
For one final final ride
Pray that you can fight long enough
To die in combat
Pour something strong and raise a glass
To all of your friends in the ground
Pour another few for yourself
In hopes that you’ll catch up with them
“This wretched hand that I’ve been dealt
Was but cruel fate, writ in stone”
Add another voice to the choir
Of lies that you tell yourself
With sunken eyes so fixed on the dead
You never could see the living

A gallery of decay
My eyes set on the path ahead
Beset by wraiths with familiar faces
They arrange the carrion to please the vultures
Weary, I take refuge at the edge of a lonely pool
Sunlight dances softly on the ripples in the water
The crystalline surface reflects a vision
Of the harrowing path that lies ahead
I gaze deeply into that cruel mirror
A tired and sunken face gazes back
What dwells within the depths beyond
This forlorn visage laid before me?
Faint footprints pressed in silt
Bones sunken in the mud
Pale bodies swathed in rot
Surrendered lives
“Linger not at my shore
Lest you find yourself
Moldering in regret”
