Eyes As Black As Sealed Graves

We entered through the tunnel with the black steel gates We knew there was a route to the base from the caves As we passed the outer rim the security was late The squad moved as one until the lights began to break We carried on alone and the light began to fade Communication was now gone but we all knew our marks on the stage As I hit my point I knew that something had happened and it was strange The squad never showed and I was alone in a dark cave The linking tunnels to the base had been infilled all the way As I shone my torch on the ground a discovery was made A face with eyes alive was burned into the floor of the cave As I shone my torch around the outline of the face suddenly did change It was now outlined in red with eyes as black as sealed graves The face started to shimmer and movement other than mine was alive in the cave I slowly moved back to where my entrance was made I quickly ran through the tunnels to the entrance with the gates As I saw the moonlight cast its light on the path that lay ahead I turned to see a red wave crash into the gates and banging steel in my head At that point I heard the screams of so many men echo in the cave And then the quiet of the night smothered the sound of death as it escaped It was later when I heard of the nature of the cave On ancient burial ground it had been placed and all but me who had entered had disappeared without trace.
