Poveglia

Shifting lights from the shore, where man he dares to tread no more
They still wonder this place, and time forgot their name their face
This whole land is a tomb, their shadows we see by the light of the moon
And here they remain, a fate that sealed eternal pain.

Sing, forgotten, let us hear
Damned and betrayed, bound to this place as the world looked on
Sing, forgotten, make us see
Poveglia's lands, what dwells in your sands now your secrets gone?

We are bound to this place, live in death we find no peace
Hide away from the world, this solitude you would disturb
And to never know why. We came here to live but you sent us to die
As we wonder, destined to rise, forevermore with helpless cries.

Sing, forgotten, let us hear
Damned and betrayed, bound to this place as the world looked on
Sing, forgotten, make us see
Poveglia's lands, what dwells in your sands now your secrets gone?
See the shattered remains, of those that passed within this place
Roaming these halls, the whispering walls they all curse your name
And what would they say? Would they ask you “Leave this place”?
We who belong, sing sorrows song
And we shall forevermore.
