Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The gates to my subconscious open wide
Hear and remember, the incantations I recite
Reveal the power, no longer known by man
Possess, before the ancients rule the earth once again
[Verse 2]
Beneath the seas and skies of the human mind
The abyss yawns wide before me
Uncertain what truth of lies I will find
Appear and share my wisdom, for I know thee
[Verse 3]
Descend into the foul places of death
I fear for my flesh, for I have seen my epitaph
The price I pay on this lonely journey
Is softened and I hope the gods will have mercy
[Verse 4]
From a time before a time a cold voice has spoken
From a land beyond the stars I evoke thee
In exchange for wisdom, what evil have I woken
What terrible faith shall consume me?
[Verse 5]
I've seen the future
I've seen the past
I've seen the sight of whom cause the horror
I've seen my place of rest
[Verse 6]
I've travelled on spheres, I've seen things beyond imagination
The things I have learned are the most pure revelation
Obliterated are the lines of my life
My blood cries out as I make my last sacrifice
[Verse 7]
Cannot see, cannot move, 'cause sight is failing me
Knowing that the beasts of the spaces claim my blood
My blood turns black but frightened I cannot be
The bargain is sealed, the price to pay is to rot
[Verse 8]
Descend into the foul places of death
I fear for my flesh, for I have seen my epitaph
The price I pay on this lonely journey
Is softened and I hope the gods will have mercy
[Verse 9]
From a time before a time a cold voice has spoken
From a land beyond the stars I evoke thee
In exchange for wisdom, what evil have I woken
What terrible faith shall consume me?
[Verse 10]
I've seen the future
I've seen the past
I've seen the sight of whom cause the horror
I've seen my place of rest
