Schammasch - Katabasis Lyrics

FROM THE MOUNTAINS OF FIRE TO ONE
FROM ELYSIAN FIELDS TO THE SUN
WITHIN STREAMS OF CORRUPTION YOU'LL COME
FROM THE COVERTLY CHOIR TO NONE

YOU'RE THE PULSE OF A LIFELONG ORDEAL
YOU'RE THE VOICE I CAN HARDLY CONCEAL
WITHIN DREAMS OF IRRUPTION YOU'LL HEAL
AND WHAT'S ILLUSIVE, AGAIN, SHALL BE REAL

I FOLLOW YOU DOWN
THE PATH INTO THE FIRE
I FOLLOW YOU DOWN
THE PATH OF VAIN DESIRE
I FOLLOW YOU DOWN
THE PATH THAT BRINGS US HIGHER
I FOLLOW YOU DOWN
THE PATH TO YOUR EMPIRE

WHERE EVER YOU LEAD WILL BE MY DESTINATION, NO QUESTIONS BE ASKED NOR ANSWERS BE GIVEN
AS LONG AS I'M FREE OF DOGMATIC STAGNATION, I SHALL BE YOUR VESSEL FOREVER UNSHRIVEN

AND DEEP WERE THE CAVERNS AND MAZES WE CROSSED, AND DEEP WILL BE WHAT LIES AHEAD OF US NOW
AS SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF THE ONE THAT IS LOST, THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS THAT YOU CAN ALLOW

WITHIN THIS LABYRINTH THE BLIND ARE THE BLESSED AND THE BLESSED SHALL BE BLINDED EVENTUALLY
FOR TEMPTATION IS PRESENT IN ALL THAT WE HEAR AND FEEL, IN ALL THAT WE SEE

NONE WILL BE FREE FROM THE OATH OF CONVICTION, NOT ONE SHALL SECEDE FROM THIS JOYFUL ADDICTION
FOR THE CHAINS OF THE MANY ARE CHANCE TO THE FEW, AND EVEN FEWER IF ANY WILL FIND A WAY THROUGH

SPEAKING WORDS THAT DECEIVE
