Ancient Call

Museum
(Ancient Call)

Through the years,
Past them all,
Memories of past fears,
The Ancient Call.

Echoing down,
Through the ages.
Roars and howls,
Pain and rages.

Powerful trumpet splits the skies,
Grunts and growls,
Their fate belies,
Amidst the howls.

Hear their memory,
Though few have ever seen,
The strength of the ages,
Decendents now pacing in cages.

There's nothing left,
Only the bones,
Bereft of flesh,
Far from their home.

Still as the lights go down,
If you listen at all,
Throughout these halls,
You can still hear the ancients call.
