Beware the entrance to the hypogeum,
unless you want a visit with this lich.
Better me than a breath from a ghast,
blood-curdling is the last thing you hear.
Unless you want to visit with this lich,
walk quickly save your passing glance.
There is only bone sputum here, beware.
Better me than a breath from a ghast,
I am the one who will give you a riddle.
Catacomb inhabitants are bored, beware.
Blood-curdling is the last thing you hear,
ignore that loud undercurrent of curiosity.
There is only bone sputum here, beware.
Nyako adwari bende anyalo heri
Yawa apari warom mondo aleri
Iberna kendo ochuna mondo aweri
Ateri mos walos wach
kawinjo nyingi to chunya liel mach
kel chunyi machiengni an kwach
Onagi Ja nyakach
sibuor moluor ekor gweng
wouoyi motegno kendo rateng
A jaber her jawer
karwa kodi chwe kendo ler
Andikoni akonie kaka iber
A jaber Her Jawer
pada gi kwe kendo irodha gi hera
Dalawa ateri kendo dalau itera
Imos baba gi mama,dana gi kwara
owadwa nyaminwa ji duto riti
Gidwaro ngeyo kiti
Gidwaro chi wuoyi
A jaber her Jawer
Dhok nyaka ater
choras nyaka awer
nyaka kaka iber
kaka iler
mara ma aseyiero
Ma yuthe te dwaro
yawa singna ni chwo ikwero
kendo an e kende
Achiel kende
E piny matinde
jaber singna
herawa Pakna
Sungri sweetheart pakri, tingri malo
An mari pile dak wasenyalo
mudho mag hera waseloyo
Hera omoko, hera omuoch
hera Opoto, hera Lich
jaber Her jawer
winje kaka awer
her Jawer jaber.
