Necromanteion

They came to the temple between the living and the dead To bring their offerings and ask their questions And some would be received and questions would answer Some were driven mad, screaming and insane But for those on the living side, whose eyes could not see The fell things creeping on the other side of the door And they waited for the right vessel They watched from the darkness, locked in anticipation A fool came to offer, late at night They took the opportunity and seized control And now the doors have been flung wide open Out stream the monsters Tartarus had been keeping The barrier between the worlds shattered for an instant Yet untold terror was released into the night Demons and ghouls not seen for thousands of years Unleashed into the world to wreak havoc once again And the man who said the words that opened the door The vessel of evil, found near the site His eyes and tongue had been burned from his body Dead mouth locked open in a never ending scream
