|
In the days of ruin and fear |
|
And gangways chocked with despair |
|
Stone walls meander and hide |
|
A monster within the lair |
|
No resting here all along |
|
The path is unmarked |
|
A labyrinth of death where |
|
The unguided are lost |
|
One way in and |
|
No way out |
|
The door of no return |
|
The passage to darkness |
|
Is a thunder within |
|
This pit of burning bones |
|
Seals the burial rites in |
|
Dream on the eve of battle |
|
The scars they have won |
|
An echo from the center paints |
|
The soldiers shields with blood |
|
So the hard way |
|
in darkness |
|
So hard the way |
|
From tomb to temple the rise |
|
Of the dead king God |
|
Pestilence burns by day |
|
And the death vapors by night |
|
A world of corpses paralyzed |
|
Within this dream of life |
|
Satan's mills of endless wheels |
|
Capture all in flight |
|
And the secret path of thieves |
|
Is plotting out the light |
|
Creator of this vision |
|
Interpreter of it all |
|
Apocalyptic arrows aimed |
|
At sword forged on anvils old |
|
Terror struck and trembling |
|
outstretched upon the path |
|
Turn to see a voice that speaks |
|
And behold falls bead now |
|
At its feet |
|
I rule in fear |
|
All death is near |
