Bridge of Bones - Autopsy

I didn’t find this place, it called to me

A reeking from the other side of stone

Underground in hiding as I was

Was that a whisper?

But I’m here alone…

There lay a hole in the ground

A hidden portal in the floor

A putrid breeze was seeping out

Against all sense I set out to explore

Through the passage I did climb

Down to a chamber vast as hell itself

Had I lost my mind or did I really see

An abysmal chasm with a bridge of bones

Before me?

A nauseating reddish light filled the gloom

Transfixed I walked up to the bridge bizarre

Horrified I realized the truth

The skulls and legs and arms looked so familiar

In shock I scrambled back up

To the bleakness of the moor

The winds were foul, the bones were gone

I reeled in sickening horror

The abomination of a bridge

Must be the morbid key

I had to go down again and face insanity

A dark descent beneath the earth

And hell was waiting there

I stepped onto the skeletal span

And walked across in terror

I reached the other side

To see a coffin standing bare

And then the voices faded in

Grotesque beyond compare

The box was open, death was near

I heard the casket’s calling clear

My victims screaming in my head

I stepped inside and closed the lid
