"III. Shadows Below" lyrics

Down into the shadows below, now send the sacrifice

Whispers untangled, in wretchedness
Words unfurl like ancient scrolls
They're burning themselves into my tongue
To swallow the soul
Recoil in anguish, I writhe in unseen flame
Her face flashes before me, I hear her calling my name

O' Son of Adam, you suffer in such brutal terror
Come seek your respite. Accept it.
I've seen every ending, you'll suffer forever

I wade through the darkness
She beckons me further into the void
I weep at her doorstep
She speaks in shivers sent down my spine

Tears fall from angels' eyes
Darkened is the doorway of my mind
Carry the sacrifice to the shadows below
Away from the guiding light
I hear you whisper in my mind
Though I cannot see you, I know I'm not alone

I, now in darkness born
Invoked and fucked, my will malformed
To servants of night
Dark rituals at their completion
They seek to swallow the sunlight
Oh, Satan, what cruelty have you wrought?
I hear her voice begin to shift
She tells me the Devil would be kinder than I

Tears fall from angels' eyes
Darkened is the doorway of my mind
Carry the sacrifice to the shadows below
Away from the guiding light
I hear you whisper in my mind
Though I cannot see you, I know I'm not alone
(I know I'm not alone)

I see the light in her clouded eyes go fucking black

Descending into madness, sickness
Psychopathic fucking visions
I feel the light leave my eyes
I know I am not, I am not alone
