Cardinal Wyrm - Grave Pa**age lyrics

We walked till dawn To find the doorway to the stars (A dream of release In shaking vows To leave this world Of pain unbound) Across the raging waters Into the chamber of earth and stone (A tomb at rest In cruciform The corbelled slabs Above the swells) A seeker falls, down, Into the pit ‘neath moss-filled walls (Our brother gone We can’t look back We move as one Into the black) One more friend lies in our wake, but We push forth our escape to the stage above (A multiverse The planes unbound And here we sweat In its siren sound) Tunnel through crumbling halls Where the dead bear quiet witness Torches lit as we crawl Secure our desperate egress But when we emerge To the shadow that orbits our thoughts And holds us down with its weight This idol of stone That we built to free us from this place Points up to the void Knowingly as it laughs in my face The ancient songs, Tales of the wyrmhole Where we could abscond When they put us against the wall This parallel universe That we sought through our menhir’s magic Left us on the hill Could and fraught from this grave pa**age There is no door No portal to forgiveness We’re left on the shore Forlorn ones to bear witness
