Below The Crevices

The Crevices Below Below The Crevices Lyrics
1.Below The Crevices

Look below your feet.
Look closely at the ground
Someone below is watching.
Through the cracks in the stone
Their eyes are following your every move
Your every breath...

These eyes are glowing crimson in the dark
They do not trust those who live above
It is the light that drives them mad
And it's the darkness that provides solace.
They've built a vast hall carved out of stone
The sound of hammers ring through the rocky paths
They do not understand the terrors lurking above.

They serve a master adorned with the jewels
Carved from the crystals that enrich his kingdom
He sits upon a glittering throne
Below the crevices he rules alone
Nothing can touch him and none can reach him
He is the lord of the subterranean world
He is the master of his cavernous kingdom.

And he has numerous minions
Who serve and hunt for their master's delight
But down below there is scarce food
So they are forced to hunt those who live above.


2.The Tombs Of Subterranea

'In the darkness in the world up there
I have not seen this thing they call the sun
I have not seen the stars
My life is to dwell in the earth
My destiny is to rest with the other tombs of subterranea.'

It's only the light of the torches flames
That light the twisting stone paths of the netherworld
The caverns, nobody knows how far they reach
Nobody knows how deep that black abyss goes.

'I wonder what the sky must look
They say at night it's like a cave
Lit by the light of glowworms
And in the day the sun is like a lake of fire.'

'I wonder what it must be like
To be wakened by the suns warm rays
To feel this thing they call rain
To see the seasons come and go'


3.A Grand Cavernous Awakening

A grand cavernous awakening fulfills this underworld's desire
Its magmatic solitude engulfs our souls in flames
A burning passion erupts from within.
Our darkened emblazoned halls are wondrous
To truly witness this dark grandeur
Immerse yourself in the earth's deepest abyss

'I am alone in this abyssal plain
My screams echo off the vast rising walls
I am lost in this maze of darkness and cold
I can hear the faint voices calling in vain to me'.

'And now the water drips from above
In time these waters will slowly rise
I am standing in darkness knee deep in fear
In the water I can see death reflecting back to me'.


4.Whispers Of Sorrow

'I hear the sombre voices pulling me in their web
The whispering wandering words
A deceitful tale of dread
They promise me a glory that I forever seek.'


5.Trapped In Suicidal Depths

'What's that I hear, voices talking to me
Why won't they go?
Their words are seething
And they're burning
Those cracks in the wall run through the stone
Like the veins in my arms... it's burning.'

'Am I alone? I cannot see
The clouds of blackness permeate my mind
And bloody rain is falling down
Drowning my withering soul
Am I succumbing to madness?
I am trapped in suicidal depths'.

'If only I could be away from this agony
And escape the grasp of this abysmal fate
Please take my soul away
From the chains of mortal pain
My flesh deserves nothing, but to be forgotten'.


6.Carrying The Cries Of The Lost

An eerie wind blows through the twisting passages
They carry the cries of the lost and the dying
And all who hear their pain suffer the knowledge of despair

Oh dark lord, up on your throne
You always hear the cries
And there is nothing you can do
But to rule with a turned eye
The howling drives your paranoia
When sleeping you keep one eye open

Oh dark lord, you rule these blackened land
But there is more you desire
It hides as deep as these great caves
But burns as bright as the torches' flames

The howling wind, calling you to your death

Down from your throne, you leave your kingdom
And wander to the darkness never to return
And now the whispers that ride the winds
And fill our ears with despair
Are from your very lips.
