Erebor – The Stillness of Unending Sleep Lyrics
Artist: Erebor
Song: The Stillness of Unending Sleep
Seeing no inscriptions
This eternal city bore
Not the fruit of civilisation
Not seen by eyes but mine
Deep within the dunes
This atrocity laid to rot
Unwholesome antiquity
Deliberately lost
The unvocal place dripping
In the ghastly stillness of unending sleep
Swallowed by the sand
That is not dead which can eternal lie
And with strange aeons even death may die
Shunned so this city should be
Hours of waiting for the coming sunrise
Daring not to tread forth in the mirk
As Memnon hailed the mighty disk
I steeled myself to vеnture forth
In and out of shapeless housing
Minе vision drawn to a would-be temple
Wading further into shapeless darkness
My flame – my only eyes
Light cast on still-red stones
Swallowed by the sand
That is not dead which can eternal lie
And with strange aeons even death may die
Shunned so this city should be
Shifting through
Construct’s darkness
Guided by
My fear
Flames lick the walls around me
Horror becomes tangible
Rushing wind felt from behind
Draws me down down inside
Endlessly descending
Times seemed to all but stop
Suddenly my feet hit earth
In a long dark chamber
Displayed on the walls were
The scales of long-lost man
Diminutive in stature
With shrapnel fangs
Wicked claws
The face invoked a hideous reality
History lost, sealed away, forgotten
Hundreds of these deceased demons
Encased by stone and lost in sand
Their strange reptilian features
Lit by an unknown light
As I examined through the glass
The glimmering scales ignite
Their ungodly tendrils now twitching
My sanity depletes
Being pulled toward the phosphor
I am eternal as I lie
