Ode to Courage in the Catacombs

Ode to Courage in the Catacombs

In the catacombs where shadows creep,Where silence wraps the earth in deep,There stirs a force from ancient sleep,A courage fierce, no soul could keep.Within these tombs where darkness weeps,And ghostly secrets never sleep,Your spirit wakes from endless sweep,A flame ignites where shadows seep.O darkened halls, where whispers creep,You cradle fears, yet secrets seep,From corridors where sorrows leap,You rise, unbowed, your vows to keep.Beneath the weight of ancient stone,Where phantoms wail and chill is sown,Your courage roars in guttural tone,A heart of fire, so fiercely grown.In these cold crypts, with dread so steep,Your valor’s hymn, a deathless sweep,Unyielding strength from shadows deep,A spirit wakes, no longer meek.Here, where the earth’s dark secrets lie,You face the ghosts that gnash and sigh,Defiant as the shadows fly,Your courage blazes, reaching sky.So let the catacombs resound,With echoes of your courage bound,In tombs where whispers have no ground,Your fearless heart shall e’er be found.
