Whisper in the Ear of the UnBlessed Dead

And My Words of Power are Heard in

I Whisper in the Ear of the UnBlessed Dead

And They Tell me Things No Living Man Knoweth

For I Have Taken Possession of their Shadows

And They re Mine To Command in

the Netherworld



I Dream of the Dead

And Their Shades Showeth Me Visions

Which No Living Man Can Know

I Whisper in the Ear of the Dead

And Mine is the UnWritten Knowledge

That Lieth Under The Black Earth



To Speak The Name of The Dead

Is To Cause Them to Live Again
