Striding the Chasm

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

 Engulfed in slimy depth
 Each step a myriad lifetimes
 Tide turn against testimony
 Possessed through rot in rapture

 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
