Lifeless and sour from death and from doom.nIn the soil of my tomb not one flower shall bloom.nNothing but Death in this earth shall abide,nIn this my pathway to the other side.nnAnd thus I close my eyes...nnOn through the tunnels, darkness ablaze.nPassing through Naamah, queen of the gateways.nThe jaws of her darkness they feast on my eyesnAs the last of the earthly lights flickers and dies.nnDark are the dreams on the stone bed.nFor no sunlight shall reach to the land of the dead.nAs I journey through tunnels and blackened chasm.nIn the realms of Death unbound.nnUnderneath the cenotaph.nnRevelations revealed through crepuscular trance.nShadows of demons in catacombs dance.nLuminous signs of impossible shape.nTraveling deep, no return, no escape.nnWonderous, prosperous marvels most dark.nI fall to my kneesnAnd behold as I harknThe tongues of the ancients,nDamned and aflame,nChanting in madness...nnCloser and closer,nThe flames reaching higher.nTrial by fire! Trial by fire!nCoalescence of high and low.nHand in hand with the damned I go.nA dance in shadows...nnThe burning fears of the world beyond,nAt the end of these snakelike trails,nAre the same as those which forged this heartnAnd so my birth through death prevails.nnDark are my dreams on the stone bed.nFor no sunlight shall reach to the land of the dead.nIn flames I shall at last become.nWith fire I am one.nUnderneath the cenotaph.
