Merlin

Unburied

Merlin


They were killed very long ago 
Their lifeless bodies lied unburied 
Mutilated and decayed 
Torn apart by animals and tortured 

Their mouths open wide 
Empty eyes of theirs staring at the sky 
And seeing nothing 
Their hands snatching at the emptiness 

They've lied for years 
Parched by the sun 
Covered by snow 
Standing heat and cold 
They're not alive 
And they're not dead 
Their souls have been lost 

They have stayed between the worlds 

They vanished from this place 
But they've never known another life 
Suffering forgotten shades 
Screaming silently, unknown and nameless 

Nameless heroes 
Prisoners of darkness 
Regards and fame 
Will never find them
