Land of the Dead

Somewhere 
Hundreds and thousands years ago
A forbidden land prevailed
Of what I heard in past
The bloodily vapours they inhaled

A ritual as I read they had
For years and years they performed
Immortal had the upper hand, all the mortal they raised
Mortals turned to immortal being, immortal they praised

A skull was their cup of choice
And the human blood their drink
Of I heard what people said
There existed a rule then
Corpses killed the living soul
In the land of dead
