Blood Red Throne - Ten Steps Of Purgatory lyrics
rate meA gateway before menothing more than a simple door<br />
I walk towards it, shivering<br />
As I reach the threshold I hesitate<br />
Aware of the pitch black darkness<br />
Ready to take hold of my soul once I'm inside<br />
One step forward and my life is irrevocably lost<br />
Thought this is no time for second thoughts,<br />
It is impossible not to be affected<br />
By the dismal and uncanny presence of doom;<br />
The hands of hell call out for me<br />
The abyss is already glaring in my eyes<br />
Now, in this very moment<br />
My left leg has crossed the line<br />
The first step and my mind is absorbed<br />
Disembodied from the spirit and soul<br />
I do not know this place I'm at,<br />
Though it feels familiar<br />
Suddenly it all becomes very clear and silent<br />
And the silence is piercing<br />
Whatever's left of mean oxymoron in limbo?<br />
How peculiar...I cannot stay here for too long<br />
As it's the only place I'm meant to be<br />
My fate is to finish the ten steps of purgatory<br />
Someone is drawing an invisible circle and<br />
Forces me to count it, nine times<br />
Is this hell?<br />
I ask, but no answer<br />
Am I being judged by actions I couldn't control<br />
Suffering sins and crimes I did not commit<br />
Just because I got drawn towards the darkness<br />
Why do you claim that there are nines steps,<br />
When in fact it's ten
<br />
