In Their Darkened Shrines 1

Nile

[ Part I - Hall Of Saurian Entombment ]



Through Subterranean Labyrinths of Catacombs

We Hath Crawled To Gather in this Dimly Lit

Hall Of Colossal Proportion

Which Few Ever See

Along Black Walls

Rise Tier after Tier of Carven Painted Sacrophagi

Each Standing in a Niche in the Stone

The Mounted Tiers Rising Up

To Be Lost in the Gloom Above

Thousands of Carven Masks

Stare Down Upon Us

We Who are Rendered Futile and Insignificant

By This Vast Array of the Dead
