Old legends tell of a river winding like a serpent* |
|
Through dense and forgotten marshland |
|
Leading to the ruins of a long dead civilisation |
|
Pyramids aligned with the stars |
|
Their shadows touching the river bed at dusk |
|
Painted faces of the past haunt the chambers |
|
The soil rich from centuries of sacrifice and torture |
|
Vines and unearthed tree roots entangle the ruins |
|
Creating their own passages and doorways |
|
The whispers tell that such untouched mysticism and so much bloodshed stirs unnatural forces |
|
Spiritual mercury drawing tormented souls and keeping the damned from the grave |
|
...Such cruelty never rests |
|
Calling to the blackhearted in their dreams |
|
Visions of a plague, genocide and forbidden rituals |
|
The subliminal path to this temple of the sun and moon embedded |
|
So that once again the tongue of the old can hiss the incantations to unleash this ancient terror |
|
As the sun rises piercing the water |
|
I hear a name being called |
|
A name I have only heard in my dreams yet I am lucid |
|
Through the thickets of mist |
|
I find myself blinded by the monolith |
|
Bleeding the sun with its apex and stirring the darkest of sense |
|
An eerie beauty suffocated by tragedy and loss |
|
Cries of putrefied innocence cause the ravens to take flight |
|
The archaic hieroglyphs tell of untold horror |
|
An evil of the ages bound in these stones |
|
Forgotten by all to preserve life |
|
Destined to be found to destroy life |
|
...Such cruelty never rests |
