Oubliette

(アルバム： The Black Labyrinth / A Requiem For The Goblin King - 2019)

Left, right, left, then take five more steps
Do a pirouette 'round the statuette
What's that sound coming from the ground?
Someone is turning all of the tiles around
Danger is around the bend, if only you could see it
How will you make it to the end?

Mind the map now and watch your step
Or you'll end up in an oubliette
One wrong move and it's down, down, down
Pray the map isn't upside-down
Or you'll be stuck in the underground
In a cage from which there's no way out

Find the guards hiding behind cards
Ignore the one on the right 'cause he always lies
Knock on the door, that's what the knocker's for
Heed my sage advice, better mind the floor
Freedom is around the bend, if only you could see it
How will you make it to the end?

Mind the map now and watch your step
Or you'll end up in an oubliette
One wrong move and it's down, down, down
Pray the map isn't upside-down
Or you'll be stuck in the underground
In a cage from which there's no way out

And all these skeletons you see
Each had a dream, now crumbling at your feet
The maze is changing all around you all the time
How will you make it out alive?

I read the map and I watched my step
Yet here I am in this oubliette
One wrong move and it was down, down, down
I guess the damn thing was upside-down
Now I'm stuck in the underground
In a cage from which there's no way out
Get me, get me, get me out of here
