Aeternus

Descent To The Underworld

Aeternus


From blood-drenched earth 
The mighty oak arises 
From its roots 
Flow rivers of death 

Shadowed bodiless forms 
The rotting cores of the damned 
Drifting - howling to blackened skies 
On rushing waters of time 

Enter the misty depths 
Of the underworld 

Where blizzards rage 
Through fiery storm 
Where magic reigns 
The waking dawn 

Where ram and serpent 
Stand guard 
Waiting to taunt the souls 
Of those who spent lifetimes 
Worshipping lies of a false truth 

In vain - they sought return 
Protesting their fate 
They knew not 
The course of the wind 
Through which region it roared 
On which place it died
