Elephant - Obsidian Hell lyrics

rate me

Orpheus lead me deep into Hell, Dagon Sphere in hand<br />

Away from the burning mirrors and through the shadow lands<br />

Tonight I'll leave the sunless walls, the time is getting short<br />

To find my hidden destiny, the only chance I have<br />

<br />

Twilight over Gorgoroth, forboding gates of bronze<br />

Oblivion awaits me there, a sea of blackest night<br />

Despair rules my barren heart, frustration in my mind<br />

But the lyre charms me sweet and pure, infusing me with hope<br />

I see the suffering of broken souls, laughter turns to screaming<br />

Naked mangled bodies forever walking the circle of perpetual hunger<br />

<br />

Merciless, the dragon spreads it's plague over the world<br />

Blessing the wickedness of it's blackened hordes<br />

Phantoms of anxiety magnifying fear<br />

Cursing in misery the ones with the faith to believe in the<br />

Wisdom revealed in the loneliness of solitude<br />

When thoughts and memories are the only truth<br />

Bathed in silver in the dead of winter<br />

Rimed with frost like the skeletal trees<br />

<br />

The jester strikes me within my lucid nightmare, I'm chosen to stay alive<br />

A palace of demons on the blue hill bear witness to my trial<br />

Lost in starlight amidst a swarm of enemies, battling every imaginable foe<br />

Deserted by seraphs, I call out in rage, is this my fate<br />

Entrapped in an ancient war, I reach for the mystic buckler<br />

To quell the flaming onslaught of the avernal throng<br />

A sacred relic of the knights of the elements<br />

A reminder that peace must always prevail<br />

Chained to the obelisk by the sovereign killers<br />

Waiting for the sight of the robed tormentor<br />

Paralyzed and overwhelmed, eyes roll into my skull<br />

This is my Crucimentum<br />

Molded in the fire of the living forge<br />

Hammered for impurity and thrust into the water<br />

The process repeats to drive out the porous slag<br />

This technique if withstood produces true steel<br />

An enigmatic sacrifice before the hooded masses<br />

Princes of pain, rituals of blood and death<br />

I shall be the one to achieve the heavenly<br />

Obsidian Hell - ninth candle of the second plane of seven<br />

<br />

Caught in this strange place somewhere in the pit<br />

From the depths of the chasm I see the tunnel's end<br />

The winds change, the storm recedes, spring is in the air<br />

Happy for deliverance, I cry<br />

<br />

Reflecting on the dark maze that consumed me within<br />

Grateful for the knowledge gained, wiser now am I<br />

Leaving the abyssal realm, Elysian Fields before my eyes<br />

A final bridge that I must cross, Janus greets me
