Du Kommer Att Se...



A monolith of ages past

Spent and dead from ancient’s last

Decrepit hull now rots alone

Languishing on grassy throne


Child of forgotten time

Only memory lies in rhyme

A skull that scars the barren land

Swallowed by the shadow’s hand


See what time’s cruel fingers wrought?

Erased the empty hull from thought

Voice will grace the hall no more

Only sound is wind’s dull roar


And as the storm comes swiftly nigh

No man to shut out thunder’s cry

Old house upon a hill
