The Realm of the Dead

****

**[Verse 1]**  
You’re gone now, no trace, no sign,  
Your dreams will never come to life.  
Whether you wish it or not, in time,  
To the Realm of the Dead you’ll go, resigned.  

**[Chorus]**  
Stop your lament, your anguished cry —  
It won’t change a thing, not even a sigh!  
Now you’ll never again behold  
The world of the web, the stories untold…  

**[Verse 2]**  
No deed, no word can turn this fate,  
Forgive me, but through those gates you’ll wait.  
You’ll never see summer’s golden light  
Again — not ever, not in this life…  

**[Chorus]**  
Weep — your place there is sealed, in the shade,  
And not even your mother can lend you aid.  
“I’m so young, my bride awaits me!” — he said,  
As cold tears fell, unheard, unled.  

**[Bridge]**  
No, you’ll follow me, come what may,  
Follow, you must, there’s no other way.  
No flood of tears can wash this away,  
Though a thousand rivers you weep today…  

**[Outro (repeated chorus, fading)]**  
Stop your lament, your anguished cry…  
It won’t change a thing, not even a sigh…  
Now you’ll never again behold…  
The world… of the web… untold…
