Elephant - Obsidian Hell lyrics

Orpheus lead me deep into Hell, Dagon Sphere in hand Away from the burning mirrors and through the shadow lands Tonight I'll leave the sunless walls, the time is getting short To find my hidden destiny, the only chance I have Twilight over Gorgoroth, forboding gates of bronze Oblivion awaits me there, a sea of blackest night Despair rules my barren heart, frustration in my mind But the lyre charms me sweet and pure, infusing me with hope I see the suffering of broken souls, laughter turns to screaming Naked mangled bodies forever walking the circle of perpetual hunger Merciless, the dragon spreads its plague over the world Blessing the wickedness of its blackened hordes Phantoms of anxiety magnifying fear Cursing in misery the ones with the faith to believe in the Wisdom revealed in the loneliness of solitude When thoughts and memories are the only truth Bathed in silver in the dead of winter Rimed with frost like the skeletal trees The jester strikes me within my lucid nightmare, I'm chosen to stay alive A palace of demons on the blue hill bear witness to my trial Lost in starlight amidst a swarm of enemies, battling every imaginable foe Deserted by seraphs, I call out in rage, is this my fate Entrapped in an ancient war, I reach for the mystic buckler To quell the flaming onslaught of the avernal throng A sacred relic of the knights of the elements A reminder that peace must always prevail Chained to the obelisk by the sovereign k**ers Waiting for the sight of the robed tormentor Paralyzed and overwhelmed, eyes roll into my skull This is my Crucimentum Molded in the fire of the living forge Hammered for impurity and thrust into the water The process repeats to drive out the porous slag This technique if withstood produces true steel An enigmatic sacrifice before the hooded ma**es Princes of pain, rituals of blood and d**h I shall be the one to achieve the heavenly Obsidian Hell - ninth candle of the second plane of seven Caught in this strange place somewhere in the pit From the depths of the chasm I see the tunnel's end The winds change, the storm recedes, spring is in the air Happy for deliverance, I cry Reflecting on the dark maze that consumed me within Grateful for the knowledge gained, wiser now am I Leaving the abyssal realm, Elysian Fields before my eyes A final bridge that I must cross, Jan*s greets me
