Gravebound Lullaby

Gravebound Lullaby

Grasp the veil of withered night,
Bones that creak in funeral light,
Echoes crawl through dirt and grime,
Singing death in twisted rhyme.

Claws that trace the bleeding sun,
Dreams undone where shadows run,
Ashes weave through rotting seams,
Binding flesh to haunted dreams.

Sing me down where phantoms lie,
Wrap my soul in the gravebound sky,
Breathe decay through hollowed ground,
Where cursed hymns in rot resound.

Ravens gnaw on silver chains,
Threads of night that choke like veins,
Splintered wood and broken screams,
Where the dead still sew their dreams.

Eyes that glow like dying stars,
Trapped within their tombstone bars,
Fingers claw through poisoned roots,
Chanting fate in guttural flutes.

Sing me down where phantoms lie,
Wrap my soul in the gravebound sky,
Breathe decay through hollowed ground,
Where cursed hymns in rot resound.

Dust in lungs and blood like tar,
Rusted wounds that scar the scar,
Silent throats that hum with pain,
Breathing death through fractured rain.

Kiss the blight and drink the gloom,
Lay me deep in the earthbound tomb,
Dream of thorns and shadowed eyes,
In this gravebound lullaby.
