craven

 
under the ground deep
despair gasps her last breath
descending, she weeps for what is no longer there

A union of souls disbanded has left her shattered
The company of ghouls, her only companions now
needful glory, the days in these sacred halls
a close-knit family inside the bellows

With ears open, I hear the night cry
forsaken in vision
now despised

Whispering secrets that shouldn't be told
I'm set aside, should I become so bold
enchantments set a ward about me
Trespassers of the horde warn me

exiled in want, I crave
The world here kept me from my craven grave
sacred halls of well-renowned
soon to be closed with no one left around

My confessions spoken on the winds
leave me feeling deserted in the end
