At the edge of existence
Firm on ground, growing roots like swords
Speak the hidden words
Trailing karmic death
Dark ore of obscurity
Enrooted from blood soil
Void-birthed from flesh of gods
From the scorched abyss
Black veins branching through cosmic soil
The rotting edge ever closer
Chasing fire, the opening of the bones
Towards the subdivided levels
Detach disintegrating soul
Towards eternity and far away from time
Follow blackest beacon through the mist of man
It has always been here
Weaving into the fabric of flesh
Striding further into darkness
Roots so old, touching soul
Striding the chasm
Upon black clouds of magic
Turn earth to flesh and sun to gold
Beyond underworld maelstrom
Hunger of the arcane hand of old
Striding the chasm
Striding the chasm
Engulfed in slimy depth
Each step a myriad lifetimes
Tide turn against testimony
Possessed through rot in rapture
Striding the chasm
Striding the chasm
Inverted as below
No trace of root above
I'm striding the chasm
Striding the chasm
Growing in the endless shadow of the soul
Dark pillars through Sephiroth passage
Gliding over gargantuan depths
Upon the rim of monolithic chasms
Bearer of the abhorrent mark
Engulfed in earth the pitch of tar
Channeling the ravens of death
Soul hunger of eternal shadows' claw
Star of fire, melt my soul
Striding the chasm
Like limbs of the soul
Striding the chasm
Darkest roots taking hold
Striding the chasm
Like limbs of the soul
Striding the chasm
Darkest roots taking hold
The opening of the seventh gates
Phantasmagoria walk with death
Through the crooked spear of time
A widening rent of absolute nothingness
Striding the chasm
I stand in mute testimony
Stone cold on the ritual arena
Soul built upon cromlechs of bones
To macabre depths, black root pillars of balance
Striding the chasm
Striding the chasm
Inverted as below, no trace of root above
Take wing on hallowed soul
As I'm striding the chasm below
Growing in the endless shadow of the soul
Dark pillars through Sephiroth passage
Gliding over gargantuan depths
Upon the rim of monolithic chasms
