Rigor Mortis

Entrapped by cold nowhere to go they wait below
Crypt of darkness silent abyss eternal unrest
Entombed in this place the light of day can't penetrate
Exhumed to discover the deathless remains waiting under
Frozen forever the faces of terror
Naked and twisted the skin hard as leather
Stretching and cracking but always remaining alive
Mummified - watching and waiting
Horribly shocking and sickening but never decaying
In motionless agony
Young ones still held close to the breast now one with Death
Eyes fixed with a final vision of grief and pain
Entombed in this place the light of day can't penetrate
Exhumed to discover the deathless remains waiting under
Jellied forever the body distorted
Harder than stone and forever alone
Each with a different story to tell of his own death
Mummified - watching and waiting
Horribly shocking and sickening but never decaying
In motionless agony
Mummified petrified
Waiting to horrify man with a hideous smile
Mummified petrified
Waiting to horrify me in my every dream
Timeless waiting vengeful hatred so cold so dead
What made them die' Preserved in time I must know why
