Underworld (Act 2)

(album: A Fallen Temple - 1998)

Our patience has been dried away
Since a long time...
And the thirst, the need to unfold desire
Transforming it into a touchable object

How bitter was the taste of emptyness
In our illformed mouths
But it was natural as our ideas
Was based on wishes younger
Weed as fruits at first

"Your fathers knew
These worlds by heart
Even those that never ever crossed
The eerie side"

We came to see the upper world
Where colours dance and the air moves bright
We came to see...

As a cat with her claws extended
Orchestrates a merciless grasp
Weapons move damn swiftly
In an attacking stance
Ready to cut through
And open doors grimson

"Your fathers knew
These worlds by heart
Even those that never ever crossed
The eerie side"

"Let me heal your wounds with mine
Now that you have deceived the night"

"Rest assured that none of us
Will ever lose the way to you
These stains are also traces
And they clean conscience
As it is their duty to do so
The order was strict
Conquer or be conquered"

Our patience has been dried away
Since a long time...
And the thirst, the need to unfold desire
Transforming it into a touchable object

Hold no more your horses
Let them run like lava
Melting stone and granite
In hollow caves

Raging Victory acts as shepherd
Leading the way
