Chess With the Abyss (Live in Wacken)

[Verse]

Old dreams return

Disillusioned I yearn

Am I buried beneath sand and clay?

The caress of cold soil

With limbs crippled to the coil

Locked inside a nightmare womb

[Refrain]

Tarnished and grief-stricken

Emptiness within a void

Longing for the sun to shine

To discourage the demonoid

[Interlude]

Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi...

[Hook]

Salvation

Darkness reborn

Salvation

Salvation

Darkness reborn

Salvation

[Guitar solo]

[Verse]

Old dreams return

Disillusioned I yearn

Am I buried beneath sand and clay?

The caress of cold soil

With limbs crippled to the coil

Locked inside a nightmare womb

[Interlude]

Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi...

[Bridge]

We seem to keep fading away

Holding on to that last final sway

A doctrine of self-salvation

Darkness reborn on resurrection day

[Refrain 2]

Stagnating in dead waters

While circling above the surface

Of the deep pale desert sea

Cutting that other life of lines

[Outro]

Salvation

Wish we'd never met

Salvation

And rather gone our separate ways

Salvation

All times spent together

Salvation

Are the darkest of days

Salvation

Darkness reborn

[Spoken]

Thank you very much!
