Lyrics Katabasis - Schammasch

Katabasis

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 vice 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 or 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 works that deceive
Every man is an abyss
