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 sub-divided levels detach disintegrating soul Towards eternity and far away from time Follow blacked 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 Upon black clouds of magic turn earth to flesh, and sum to gold Beyond underworld maelstrom hunger of the arcane hand of old Engulfed in the slimy depths Each step is 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 Growing in the endless shadow of the soul Dark pillars through Sephiroth passage Gliding over gargantuan depths Upon the rim of monolith 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 The opening of the 7th gate phantasmagoria walk with death Through the crooked spear of time A widening rent of absolute nothingness I stand in mute testimony stone cold on the ritual arena Soul built upon cromlechs of bones To macabre depths, black root, pillar of balance Striding the Chasm Inverted as below, no trace of root above Take wing of hallowed soul, as I'm striding the chasm below Growing in the endless shadow of the soul Dark pillars through Sephiroth passages Gliding over gargantuan depths Upon the rim of monolith chasms
