Over 1000 Years

Over a thousand years I've been lying here

under a thousand rocks I have once been smothered

with the change of æons I cannot be bothered

Each day seems the same, an unchanging sphere

The enemy who buried me a thousand years ago

under rocks and earth, not caring I still lived

said, "Ravens will not get you, that's my final gift"

since his death it's been ages, revenge I shall not know

It's rare, oh so rare, that life passes by

life, the stranger to my state of doom

awfully colorful, appallingly alive

Then an a-biting and a-scratching I'll enact

until in the end quiet returns to my tomb

and over their deaths there will be no regret.
