Howling echoes dissolve
As I step deeper into silent woods
Gnarled branches petrified by time
Grasping at a dying sky

The crackling of flame
Subtly calls my name
I am the moth drawn to the light
This torment I bring only upon myself

Paralysis damns you
To chase the things you never caught
Indecision breeds
These charred and whirling souls

A well of despair punishes the righteous
Purgatory with no chance at redemption
The tail quirks, points me towards the bottom
Where time stops and eternity opens

Depressive atmosphere suffocating
Emptiness disguised as peace

You did no wrong yet you pay the price
You were denied the chance to ascend
And so you sigh forever in darkness
Packed into a perverted Elysium

A faded broken heaven drained into gray
Once elegant towers crumbling

The center pavilion houses those great
Emitting a bright light amidst the gloom
Within this castle still there is no peace
Only a lessening of misery

Depressive atmosphere suffocating
Emptiness disguised as peace
A faded broken heaven drained into gray
Once elegant towers crumbling

Sighing echoes dissolve
As I step deeper into burning hell
Entrenched sorrow a blessing
Compared to what lies ahead

The ferryman shall take me to the start of my journey
Down the flaming river of warring souls
Through the gates where hope is lost
Abandoned at the door

House of pagans I must leave
Descending to greet my destiny
The icy lake of frozen spirits
The tug of earth's center too strong to ignore

Stepping deeper into screaming hell
Where time stops and eternity opens
The tail quirks, circle nine
I have heard the call of Satan
