Words of the Dead

These visions are haunting me

I’ve nowhere left to run

I carry the weight of guilt

For the things I’ve done

Temptation led me down

I found the pages cold

Aloud I read the words

Summoning spirits old

Old

I severed the ties that bind

The afterlife has claimed

Forgive me for what I’ve done

With madness face to face

I read the blood scrolls

Time has left behind

I wanted to bring them back

But to consequence I’m blind

Speak the words of the dead

Speak with me

Words of the dead

Sorrow to be

Words of the dead

Delusion made real

Words of the the dead

Speak now and reveal

Those words are burned onto my cruel tongue

Intention, well meaning, has been undone

Fierce warnings are turning inside my head

As we chant the fateful words of the dead

Summoned from the bound writings

Summoned awaken from slumber

Join us like others before you

Join us one by one we will take you

Words of the dead

Speak with me

Words of the dead

Sorrow to be

Words of the dead

Delusion made real

Words of the the dead

Speak now and reveal

Words of the dead

Words of the dead

Words of the dead
