Oubliette Lyrics

Seized by apocalyptic fervor
Cast down into the forgotten chamber
Devoid of light in the Oubliette
Humiliated and bereft
Condemned to inhabit my thoughts
My last companions
Remains of those who came before me
Left to fester in the cryptic earth
A corpse-foetor permeates the cold stone
The Queen's hungry mouth
And bulging, demonic eyes
Await me in the grave
My title affords me such pleasure
As to languish in oblivion
Nay, I long for the headsman
And the mercy of steel upon the nape
How many months have passed
Since the sun shone upon me?
Perchance to inquire of the vermin
Relieving my casque of this flesh
More than I require here
Ruminating in my limbs
Worms shriek for my essence
Their voices swirl around me
A blanket of crawling insects
I bequeath to them this putrid bounty
She visits me again
Mocking me from the door above
I turn towards the abysmal depths
Reaching for interminable silence
