Lights fade, all is shade Zombies stalk the promenade This is promise of eternity Piles of dead, impaled head Steaming peat is wretched red They say history is written in such ways
Trust in rust, dirt and dust Worms awaiting all of us At least that's what I heard Crows soar, lions roar Chaos rules forevermore The human race is the only X factor
The decay of grandeur From riches to rot The decay of grandeur say To have and then have not
Kings crouch, the throne is doomed Assassins reach the inner room The jester has become the interloper The Queen is struck, then runs amuck Her carriage wallows in the muck The cemetery was moved indoors
The decay of grandeur From riches to rot The decay of grandeur say To have and then have not
Some say we have lost our reason Some say we have lost our minds Spinning in the blackest wisdom Coveting the darkest wine I say have your host amongst us And there you tarry for a time All your virtue shall desert you Decaying grandeur, box of pine
First the sound, and then the smell Sonorous the eldritch bell Send you to the seven hells in time
The decay of grandeur From riches to rot The decay of grandeur say To have and then have not In time, in time, in time, in time...Decay
