Catacombs

Sunlight we merely dream of here amongst the bones with the memories of the past these haunted caverns dank in their prisons Acceptances specter teaches our children there before the pulpit of skulls deaths contract is written Reincarnations end pays the toll rigmarole I see in their eyes praising as such, this dry arid dust for in the gloom of their minds a festival of cadavers explains their lives Built to the walls these bodies piled sacrificial font filled with lies lay the drudgery interminable in this church of the night The catacombs devour there is no light In pale and empty form of soul thus the habit of breathing is the only goal and here amidst the ancient bones lays the memorial past of these haunted caverns The catacombs devour there is no light
