Basil Abscond |
| I write these lines, knowing this is my last night |
| I’m afraid of what will come… Behind… |
| One survivor of 25, shattered I arrived… |
| I think that something’s followed me… |
| Its here… |
| We awoke something there… |
| In the depths of the Earth |
| In the chasms of stone… In the galleries… |
| Unfortunately, My thirst of knowledge |
| Became a terrible evil for mankind… |
| Famous scientist and an authority |
| On ancient inscriptions… |
| A substantial inheritance will finance the mission… |
| After many years, at last I found the sign |
| A sinister trace of certain ancient cult |
| And hypnotized I read the forgotten words |
| All lost in rotten books… Invocations |
| Then I caught a thread, a thread made of lies |
| Hidden in the labyrinth of abandon… |
| But a clear mark for my trained mind |
| I will be the first, I will be the One… |
| If these books are right |
| I know exactly where to find |
| There where others failed I will win the fight… |
| Years of plans, thousands of notes… |
| Showing me that at last the key was mine |
| I wanted to capture one of these beings |
| Changing forever the world as we know |
| These creatures half fish — half reptile… |
| They couldn’t ever beat the modern man… |
| Then I learned about the Sleeping Ones |
| Waiting down in the abyss… |
| …hidden since the sun was young |
| Dreaming with their time to come… |
| And every night while we read the maps |
| We hear the call… Navigating… |
| As I dreamed. |
| we went there |
| To the south — Under unknown stars… |
| With a strong conviction… |
| I hired a superb team of experts… |
| But I didn’t comprehend the magnitude |
| Of that quest… |
| Failure, Failure, Failure, Failure… |
| We arrived plenty of glory |
| Plunged in destiny |
| Right to the abyss of the night |
| I didn’t care how old were these symbols of gods |
| Carved in stone… |
| But then I was convinced of my victory |
| I solved the mistery… |
| In a land near of the pole |
| Out of the sight of human eyes… |
| We arrived plenty of glory |
| Plunged in destiny |
| Right to the abyss of the night |
| I didn’t care how old were these symbols of gods |
| Carved in stone… |
