The TOMB

By PROJECT MONROE · Melodic Death Metal · From the album A FULL YEAR OF MURDER

In the ancient land of Egypt, there was a tomb that had been sealed shut for centuries. It was said that within this tomb, lay the remains of a powerful pharaoh who was known for his cruelty and thirst for power. The locals believed that his tomb was cursed and that anyone who dared to disturb it would face the wrath of the mummy.

But the lure of treasure was too strong for some. A group of archaeologists had been searching for this tomb for years, convinced that it held unimaginable riches. And finally, they stumbled upon it.

Excited at their discovery, the archaeologists wasted no time in breaking the seal and entering the tomb. As they entered the dark and musty corridors, they were filled with a sense of unease. But they shrugged it off, their greed blinding them to the danger that lay ahead.

As they made their way deeper into the tomb, they came across a large sarcophagus, adorned with precious jewels and gold. The archaeologists eagerly opened the sarcophagus, hoping to find the mummy and the treasure it guarded.

But as they lifted the lid, they were met with a horrifying sight. The mummy was not lying peacefully in its resting place, but rather, it was standing before them, its decaying hands reaching out for them.

With blood-curdling screams, the archaeologists tried to flee, but it was too late. The evil mummy had been awakened and it was hungry for revenge. Its eyes glowed with a fiery anger as it unleashed its wrath upon the intruders.

With incredible speed and strength, the mummy attacked the archaeologists, its long and sharp nails tearing through their skin. It was a gruesome sight as the mummy stabbed its victims through their noses, pulling out their brains and devouring them.

But the torture did not end there. The mummy reveled in the terror and pain of its victims. It tore off limbs, gouged out eyes, and ripped out organs, all while the archaeologists cried out for mercy.

As the night went on, the screams and cries grew fainter and eventually stopped. The mummy had killed them all, leaving behind a scene of carnage and destruction. It then returned to its sarcophagus, satisfied that its revenge had been served.

The local villagers were horrified at the fate of the archaeologists. They knew that this was the work of the cursed mummy and it was a warning to all those who dared to disturb its resting place.

And so, the tomb remained sealed once again, and the evil mummy continued to guard its treasure, waiting for the next foolhardy adventurer to awaken its wrath. The tale of the evil mummy became a cautionary one, passed down from generation to generation, a reminder to never disturb the dead.
