Elegy of the Dead by Obituary Pending
Elegy of the Dead
[Intro – Instrumental]
Shadows gather…
The ground trembles beneath forgotten graves…
A song of sorrow begins…
[Verse 1]
Beneath the moon, the tombs awaken,
Whispers of the lost, their voices shaken.
Hands of stone reach from the dirt,
Bound by sorrow, shackled by hurt.
The sky weeps ash, the winds lament,
A requiem for lives misspent.
No light remains, no hope to see,
Only the echoes of eternity.
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear their cries, a chorus of despair,
Their elegy drifts on the midnight air…
[Chorus]
Elegy of the Dead, a hymn for the lost,
Through shadowed realms, we pay the cost.
In silence we march, in darkness we tread,
Bearing the sorrow of the dead.
[Verse 2]
The graveyard sways to a mournful tune,
Stars extinguished beneath the mourning moon.
Bones rattle softly, like a distant drum,
The cadence of death has only begun.
We walk with ghosts, their hands in ours,
Through ruins of kingdoms and shattered towers.
The veil of life grows thin and cold,
Their stories whispered, forever told.
[Bridge – Slow, crushing, doom metal section]
Rivers of shadow, seas of despair,
The veil of mortality shreds in the air.
Every lament, a dagger to the heart,
Every chord, a world torn apart.
[Guitar solo ]
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Hear their cries, a chorus of despair,
Their elegy drifts on the midnight air…
[Chorus]
Elegy of the Dead, a hymn for the lost,
Through shadowed realms, we pay the cost.
In silence we march, in darkness we tread,
Bearing the sorrow of the dead.
[Breakdown – Heavy, epic]
Ashes to ashes, bones to the sky,
The mournful march will never die.
Through fire and frost, through sorrow untold,
The elegy of the dead forever unfolds.
[Final Chorus – Layered, epic]
Elegy of the Dead, we sing your name,
Through loss and despair, through endless pain.
In shadow and silence, in grief and dread,
Forever we honor the dead.
[Outro – Instrumental Fade]
The grave exhales…
The night listens…
The Elegy of the Dead remains…
