Creeping upon my soul, the disease was blinding me The vulture's shadow was out of reach The carcass of hope I could not see My spirit trapped by midnight, deeper down it sank I gasped at the land of shadows At last in death I found my rank Nine worlds below Nivlhel I went That is where the dead of Hel's domain are sent In a dream I saw a dark figure, a black cloak was hiding her face My empty eyes stared insane with fright By death would I now be embraced I thought I had found a sanctuary, could a mind so empty go insane? But one fear trod on the heels of another I was dying again and again
