Ogress' Lament

# **"Ogress' Lament"** (Verse 1) In the heart of darkness, where moss-clad stones weep, I stumbled upon a cave, secrets buried deep, Dank and cold, its mouth agape, And there she stood—an ogress, both fierce and fair. (Pre-Chorus) Her eyes, twin embers in the blackened night, A paradox of beauty and primal might, Her skin, rugged and scarred, yet strangely alluring, I sensed a tale etched in her bones, enduring. (Chorus) **Ogress of the cavern**, your gaze ensnares, A symphony of contradictions, wild and rare, (Verse 2) She spoke in riddles, her voice a haunting melody, Of lost kingdoms, broken promises, and destiny, Her touch, like frost on my skin, awakened desire, And I wondered if love could bloom in this damp mire. (Pre-Chorus) Her hair, a cascade of midnight, tangled and wild, A crown of thorns for a queen exiled, She wept for a world that had long forsaken her, Yet her strength burned brighter than any star. (Chorus) **Ogress of the cavern**, your gaze ensnares, A symphony of contradictions, wild and rare, Your laughter echoes off dripping walls, As we dance on the precipice of forgotten falls. (Bridge) Guitar solo (sorrowful, melodic, echoing) Your laughter echoes off dripping walls, As we dance on the precipice of forgotten falls. (Bridge) Guitar solo (sorrowful, melodic, echoing) (Chorus) **Ogress of the cavern**, your gaze ensnares, A symphony of contradictions, wild and rare, Your laughter echoes off dripping walls, As we dance on the precipice of forgotten falls. (Outro) In that damp cave, our souls entwined, Two misfits defying fate's design, **Ogress of the cavern**, my heart you stole, A love forbidden, yet burning like coal.
