Katabasis - Schammasch

From the mountains of fire to one

From Elysian fields to the sun

Within streams of corruption you’ll come

From the covertly choir to none

You’re the pulse of a lifelong ordeal

You’re the vice I can hardly conceal

Within dreams of irruption you’ll heal

And what’s illusive again shall be real

I follow you down

The path into the fire

I follow you down

The path of vain desire

I follow you down

The path that brings us higher

I follow you down

The path to your empire

Where ever you lead will be my destination

No questions be asked nor answers be given

As long as I’m free or dogmatic stagnation

I shall be your vessel forever unshriven

And deep were the caverns and mazes we crossed

And deep will be what lies ahead of us now

As seen through the eyes of the one that is lost

There are no restrictions that you can allow

Within this labyrinth the blind are

The blessed and the blessed shall be blinded eventually

For temptation is present in all that

We hear and feel in all that we see

None will be free from the oath of conviction

Not one shall secede from this joyful addiction

For the chains of the many are chance to the few

And even fewer, if any, will find a way through

Speaking works that deceive

Every man is an abyss
