Symphonies of A Ruinous Age
Amongst the bones of yesterday
Now only the shadows play
Marbled halls caked in dust
Death born from misplaced trust
Once all proud and bright
Now strewn with bones in eternal night
Mad laughter still fills the air
What horrors are in their lair
Prowling amongst bloody thrones
Grins of rotting flesh and broken bone
Stay where the grass stays green
Avoid the unnatural sheen
The rot of which only the dead dare
Of this dying land beware
Now only the shadows play
Marbled halls caked in dust
Death born from misplaced trust
Once all proud and bright
Now strewn with bones in eternal night
Mad laughter still fills the air
What horrors are in their lair
Prowling amongst bloody thrones
Grins of rotting flesh and broken bone
Stay where the grass stays green
Avoid the unnatural sheen
The rot of which only the dead dare
Of this dying land beware
