City of Tombs

Some pale, stone-dead faces

scurry past cold dormant corpses

stuffed in darkened spaces.

Blood-swelled vampires stride

by bloodless victims left to die

while victims-to-be hide.

High-rise mausoleums

overshadow graveless bodies

Decaying in the slums.

In the City of Tombs

Soulless Emperors and nobles

converge in cluttered rooms.

In the City of Tombs

Soulless serfs kill and eat their young

in tiny empty rooms.
