Standing at the cemetery gates

Unaware thy coming fate

A foreboding darkness from deep within

Deathly silence echoing

My presence here

Ritual summoning

These wraith-tree limbs

Are now whispering

Awaiting

Eerie, unseen, that harkens near

Resounding

Deathly silence all I hear

Enshrouded

Embracing bleak twilight sublime

I decay

Enraptured unto a coming night

Entombment profound - in stone I lay

Ensnared to hallowed ground to wither and decay

Enchanted within skeletal embrace

Forever enslaved unto this place

Within the graveyard

I shall stay

Bound by the dead

Whom guard the gates
