The Ghost's Whispered Warning

Gather round one and all, and listen to 

Our cry, 

We are the ghosts long forgotten, calling 

Out as you pass us by. 

After so many years our shouts become 

Whispers, out whispers an airy breath, 

While all around the rotting fog is stained 

With the stench of our death. 

One day you'll find that you too shall come 

To face, 

The hell that is our torment in this dark and 

Miserable place. 

So show us no pity, for your souls will not 

Be spared, 

You too must face the fire, and none among 

Us will have cared. 

Life is too precious, so why linger on those 

Who are dead? 

So when you next lay to sleep, picture the 

Rising sun in your head, 

It may be the last time that you ever look 

Upon this sight, 

So treasure it always, then prepare for the 

Night 

Say, we are the ghosts of times long passed, 

Remember our hallowed voice. 

The next time you hear my spoken words, 

It will have not been by choice. 

Yet I give you my hand, to guide you through 

The fog, 

Then say your goodbye to the mortal clean 

Air, and welcome in the eternal smog.
