Lyrics Seventy Steps - Sulphur Aeon

Seventy Steps

Seventy steps, downward the spiral
Into the fiery crypts, dreamlands ahead
Sevenhundred steps, further down
to the gates of deeper slumber
Seek knowledge in the forests
Find answers among fur and claws
Seek knowledge by the priest
Find answers carved in stone
Ravished by black wings
Seventy steps, downward the spiral
Into the fiery crypts, dreamlands ahead
Sevenhundred steps, further down
To the gates of deeper slumber
Strange harbours hide strange sailors
Unknown oars strike unknown waters
Black galley’s stenchridden corridors
With purple sails set on lunar course
Witness the moonbeast procession
Seek knowledge in nyaclathotep
Witness the vile conquest of claws
Seek knowledge on the isle of oriab
Ngranek reveals the countenance
A vision of the outer gods
Night gaunts summoned from darkness
Disturbing this moment of clarity
Seventy steps, downward the spiral
Death lies behind — enlightment ahead
Sevenhundred steps, further down
Unbound from the burden of life
Onward to celephais…
