My father's dead; I only wonder what'll happen to me? Back to the edge of my cell and pray to whatever gods I have left A crow is knocking to me—I think it's talking to me I think it's telling me the technique to break free "I need a moment, so hush! I'm trying, don't rush me!" The guards have caught on, so I deny them "Don't touch me!" I'm small enough to fit through the crack in my cell For miles down into the crust—into the hell
I fall a minute top into rocks -Stomach drops Will it stop? Slow down—hit the ground Cannot walk—I'm in shock I need a hospital before I bleed out, but I have no other options
Keep on marching til' I'm so sore I can't—I can't feel my feet I don't need them—I don't need them The fingers of the cave will keep me in their palms
The echo of my feet is evident, it's getting to me Back to the edge of this cave and pray I find a wall or something The crow is walking with me -It's almost comforting My pupils dilate, the only light is from the fireflies Off in the dark, a finger of such size and awesome manner that I'm feeling distraught Inside the chamber is a coffin and a sword Ancient inscriptions line the tiles of the floor
I cannot contemplate—Imma' faint Should I wait? I'm afraid f this tomb in this room In actuality, this is fate I guarantee this is a piece of The Mourn -Here comes the temptation
Keep on marching til' I'm so sore I can't—I can't feel my feet I don't need them—I don't need them The fingers of the cave will keep me in their palms
Me force it down Dem vision' spunned a'run in me head Me none lunga haffta see widda eye; Dey see wha' da mind can see—ah—ah Bwoy, gimme da worse o' dat shakon Bwoy, go' no word fo' dat sound Me head is starten' dat achon -Convulse, an fallin' dat ground Dey keep me unda dat ceilon Dey keep me unda dat soun' Mi feet, dey don' wan' da leavon Rest up, oona don' wan' it now, righ'? Peace o' da mind—reach fo divine Quie'-quie'! Now is de time Vision come back to me—tink it come back An' we reach for da new world paintin' in me mind
I see a tower scrape the sky—I feel a rush I'm safely still in the dark, but in my mind I've traveled far from here I see a man hold out his hand, behind him are the soldiers -Their silence shows their fear I'm unsure if he's harmed them I stand atop a mountain—enter a doorway Above me is a star
The vision ends; I withdraw the sword The tunnel quakes; I head for the door The walls collapse; I run for my life out of this death trap—into the light
