The Curse
Oubliette Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A curse lies dormant, secrets of the aeons
Voices of the damned echo through the hills
Blood of their sacrifices stain the soil
Rituals of evil
Misfortunes to all who will dwell

A pale innocence now rests upon the ancient ground
Primordial ones awaken with the presence of new blood
Nightmares are wrought from the remnants of her dreams
Decrepit spirits emerge from their resting place

A cloaked figure awaits just beyond
Lusting for your energy
As you lie in slumber
He is lurking in the shadows
To satisfy his endless hunger

One voice whispered in the dead of night
Warning of the fate that was yet to come

A curse, so menacing,




Never broken,
Will follow until death

Oubliette is killing it! The Artisan Era literally has my favorite bands all together.

Francisco Dipalma

Another great song, vocals sounds so good!

I like the drum mix here. Sounds acoustic/more realistic than some other bands that sound mechanical and fake.

Matthew Zang

Amazing stuff, guys! Nice drumming, Greg.
