Dagger Entombed

Dagger entombed with the king
Handle rock with a blade of gold
Excavated from old
On this bedevil ground

Iron objects found
Testify to the burial
Remains from humidity
The dagger had not rusted

Glass formed by falling
Artistic ritual power
The somber visions
Gray urn design

Ancient relics
Plunged to earth
Growing darker
Cultic signs

Nine blackened iron beads
Shaped as a burial necklace
Disturbing ceremonial mass
They are far older than the knife

Iron objects found
Testify to the burial
Remains from humidity
The dagger had not rusted

Glass formed by falling
Artistic ritual power
The somber visions
Gray urn design
