lyrics

(Wanderer)
Through the stone gateway lie our destination.
‘Neath the dripping stone, we wandered down dark pathways with naught but faint light ahead;
a gentle curiosity tugging forward, while my anxious mind did much to halt.
Behold, through the sickly emerald fog blanketed across the depths of the cavern,
the grand sunken kingdom of Ossuaria.
It’s unsettling calm beckoned our weary hearts with a familiar call.

A song of streams led me far beyond the trees
to kingdoms deep, where even twilight dare not breathe.
A fragile call rang throughout the pitch black void,
a summoning I’d be foolish to avoid.

Stenches of rot thicken the air as they wander the cobblestone path into the keep.
The cavern heaves a great yawning vortex of nether winds, whispering omens of death.
Far voices wail dirges, following a sorrowful procession in the shade of the broken spires, amongst a court of putrid nobility.

Seated on the throne at the end of the chamber, a withered old king with a great heavy crown.

Christened by stones colored black as the night,
so obsidian in hue as to drink from the light.
As his hand grew closer, the body lurched forth
Grasping his wrist in the foul, dripping gore
while it’s crackling voice bade them leave this city,
lest the darkness ensnare them in the dungeons beneath.
