PILGRIMAGE TO THE DEAD

i set foot to figure out why
no one is here, no one is left
i start my pilgrimage to the dead
i look to the answer that hides
an awesome race used to live here
however, a sad and cruel ending came
they all lost and died to this game
they didn't even get any time to express fear
i journey in silence in order not to waken
the souls sleep in unwanted peace and tranquility
but we still must have respect for this extinct community
oh, has this place been utterly shakened
