Graveyard Lanterns

Cemetery fog crawls in
Silence of the dead
Rain keeps falling down
A lone figure in the dark
Amidst the headstones
Crypts breathe malevolence
A light into the night
Graveyard lanterns alit

Open tombs call to me
Ever deeper I wander
Hateful murmur echoes
Pestilence fills my mind
As the mists they gather
The torch it dies
Necromancer’s curse
It takes hold

The flesh ripped open
By the words unspoken
To reach divinity
Horrendous transformation

Ghoulish monstrosity
Hexes of purulence
Succumb to urges
Devour putrid flesh

Rhythm of the rot
Language of the worms
To wither is divine
Graveyard lanterns dimmed
