A spectacle never before seen A night no soul could ignore Gather close and hear the tale Of the city that became no more The story begins in the town square Dark figures knelt around the fire Murmured chants were softly whispered As the flames climbed higher and higher Faces hidden beneath their shadows No one dared to make a sound The flames danced, mesmerized As their voices filled the ground Before one knew The earth opened wide Something ancient Stirred inside The undead began to rise Clawing upward through the ground Broken hands and hollow eyes Turning slowly toward the town At first sight Just a glance Weapons raised The undead charged Like a spreading plague They poured into the streets Every door and every window Fell before their feet The bells began to thunder Torches burned against the night Soldiers gathered at the walls Every able soul would fight Steel against the fallen Fire against the dead Still they came in endless numbers Still the darkness spread Hold the gate Hold the wall Do not let the city fall Hold the gate Stand your ground Don't let them surround us now But the streets were disappearing One by one beneath the flame Every house that once held laughter Soon became another grave The tower bells fell silent No voices called anymore By the breaking of the morning The city became no more No victorious army No banners left to raise Only smoke above the ruins And embers where children played Far beyond the empty walls As daylight crossed the ground Dark figures left the town square Without making a sound A spectacle never before seen A night no soul could ignore Remember well the tale Of the city... That became No more
