The Song of the
Dead
Ben Huber
In
the dark of night, I hear them call,
Whispers
on the wind, a haunting thrall.
The
spirits of the dead, they come to me,
In
dreams and visions, for all to see.
Their
voices echo through the endless gloom,
A
mournful dirge, a never-ending tomb.
Their
faces pale, their eyes filled with dread,
A
warning of the fate that lies ahead.
For
death is not an end, but just a change,
A
shift into the shadows, a soul's exchange.
And
though we try to hide from what we fear,
The
dead will always be forever near.
So
heed their call, and listen to their song,
For
in their words, the truth will soon belong.
And
though their words may chill us to the bone,
We'll
find the answers that we've always known.
In
the dark of night, I hear them call,
Whispers
on the wind, a haunting thrall.
And
though I fear the truth that they reveal,
I know that it is what I must feel.
