Under the Ground

Beneath the weight of collapsing stone A hollow world where silence is sewn The air is thick, the light is frail Time erodes as shadows prevail The roots of the earth twist and writhe A labirynth where no soul survives The walls close in, the cold devours Eternal night, uncounted hours Buried deep where no winds cry A silent hymn where echoes die In the depths, no hope remains A kingdom forged in endless chains The soil whispers secrets untold Of kingdoms lost, of hearts grown cold The bones of the past lie silent and still Bound to the earth, against their will Falling deeper into the void Where life and light are both destroyed Under the ground, we fade away Lost to the dark, where we forever fade
