|
| Fled from reality — for eternities

|
| And on the other side of the blackness
| And on the other side of the blackness
|
| An endless sea of greyness extends…
| An endless sea of grayness extends…
|
| A sea of formless emptiness
| A sea of formless emptiness
|
| Yet the misery and the pain remain
| Yet the misery and the pain remain
|
| As memories of passed time

|
| Laughing in sorrow

|
| Crying in lust

|
| The storm is calming and death is rising
| The storm is calming and death is rising
|
| Evil — as pure as night
