lyrics

You are running at breakneck speed along the path lined with gravestones, chased by a horde of ghouls. Despite the fog, the cold and the darkness of the night, you are drenched in sweat. You hold tightly to your sword and torch and your heart beats wildly as you quickly try to orient yourself to find the exit.

Why didn’t you listen to the old wizard of the inn of Ork? He told you not to go to that cemetery but you - young adventurer - were only thinking of stealing some jewels from the graves and disappearing into the night. Instead... as soon as you moved the tombstone of that rich lady who died prematurely in mysterious circumstances, the violent gust of wind that lifted the dry leaves, revealing the upper part of a stone sarcophagus, should have made you suspicious! But no, you didn’t stop and uncovered the tomb. And what you saw - ancient gods! - no, it cannot be described in words. The lady was still there, in flesh and blood, well dressed, with her eyes wide open to the sky and... breathing! Her skin was ivory white, beautiful. You felt attracted to her. It was a magical force - you immediately understood it - but you couldn’t resist... until that horrible nest of huge spiders at the bottom of the grave brought you back to you, just when you were about to kiss her. But it was too late: to your extreme astonishment, the lady had parted her lips. The piercing scream you heard - for all devils! - was like a hundred claws on a hundred mirrors! That was when you ran away in terror.

Dozens of those hideous ghouls had appeared. You thought you were faster than them, but the graveyard suddenly appeared sinister and strange to you. You no longer recognized the paths and the road taken to reach the tomb of the mysterious lady. And so you got lost among all those similar tombstones and you had to retrace your steps several times. Those damn ghouls are more and more... where the hell is the way out of this nightmare?
