Striding The Chasm

At the edge of existence Firm on ground, growing roots like swords Speak the hidden words Trailing karmic death Dark ore of obscurity Enrooted from blood soil Void-birthed from flesh of gods From the scorched abyss Black veins branching through cosmic soil The rotting edge ever closer Chasing fire, the opening of the bones Towards the subdivided levels Detach disintegrating soul Towards eternity and far away from time Follow blackest beacon through the mist of man It has always been here Weaving into the fabric of flesh Striding further into darkness Roots so old, touching soul Striding the chasm Upon black clouds of magic Turn earth to flesh and sun to gold Beyond underworld maelstrom Hunger of the arcane hand of old Striding the chasm Striding the chasm Engulfed in slimy depth Each step a myriad lifetimes Tide turn against testimony Possessed through rot in rapture Striding the chasm Striding the chasm Inverted as below No trace of root above I'm striding the chasm Striding the chasm Growing in the endless shadow of the soul Dark pillars through Sephiroth passage Gliding over gargantuan depths Upon the rim of monolithic chasms Bearer of the abhorrent mark Engulfed in earth the pitch of tar Channeling the ravens of death Soul hunger of eternal shadows' claw Star of fire, melt my soul Striding the chasm Like limbs of the soul Striding the chasm Darkest roots taking hold Striding the chasm Like limbs of the soul Striding the chasm Darkest roots taking hold The opening of the seventh gates Phantasmagoria walk with death Through the crooked spear of time A widening rent of absolute nothingness Striding the chasm I stand in mute testimony Stone cold on the ritual arena Soul built upon cromlechs of bones To macabre depths, black root pillars of balance Striding the chasm Striding the chasm Inverted as below, no trace of root above Take wing on hallowed soul As I'm striding the chasm below Growing in the endless shadow of the soul Dark pillars through Sephiroth passage Gliding over gargantuan depths Upon the rim of monolithic chasms
