mausoleum in the overgrowth

descend the hidden lift

stars burn beneath the earth

blue burning pyres and glyphs

knowledge trickles from a fable

scraps of atlas

under altars

rarities forgotten

under fanes

ghosts of those defeated

a glimpse of their final pain

a creed made to avenge them

a message soaked in rain

ancient armies crawl

in positions of triumph

shriveled infantry

disheveled armouries

wrecked and decrepit

generals command

decadent artillery

and crumbling foundries

my helm cross the fog

towers in the shadows

heroes summoned in vain

guillotines and gallows
