Fighting skeletons birthed by a spellbook
Written in Golgothan climes Written as if in red wine Lines spidery, bordered by cryptic signs Gospel different from the one you and I Know, full of revolting gore Someone has invited a vile wraith from the sunken barrows Only marrow-holding mouldy bones uphold its formerly martial frame Partial man animated by unholy black flame,…
