"Galleries Of Morbid Artistry"

Welcome to our bloodless domain
A manor of human remains
Join us in this exaltation of decay
Cadaverous architecture
Wandering through chambers of osseous monoliths
Lost in a phantasmal labyrinth of no escape

Descending down the skeletal staircase deeper into the catacombs
Ghastly effigies put on display in galleries of sinew and bone
The gaunt architect lurks from behind the shadows
Lurching like a languid Elagabalus
With each passing visitor his monuments grow
Your skull mounted upon the reaper's obelisk

Columns of fractured femurs
Chandeliers of scoliotic spines
These exsanguine creations brought to life by a deranged mind
Ghoulish pillars built from skeletons
Sallow hands working tirelessly
Masterpieces of morbid artistry

Emaciated captives imprisoned within the vaulted tomb
The coffin's lid nailed shut dulling the screams of the newly entombed
Within necrotic dungeons corpses are fused into nightmarish sculptures
Grotesque exhibits for the curator's collection

Descending down the skeletal staircase deeper into the catacombs
Ghastly effigies put on display in galleries of sinew and bone
The gaunt architect lurks from behind the shadows
Lurching like a languid Elagabalus
With each passing visitor his monuments grow
Your skull mounted upon the reaper's obelisk
