Through the black sharp mountains Up the winding stair Up, up, up, we're almost there
Shadow and flame Broken bones and dirt The call of drum and horn From under the earth Softly uttered groans Leaked forth from age-worn stone Men of honor falter at the horrors they have known
That is not dead which can eternal lie And with strange aeons even death may die
Behold the nameless city Older than legend itself Birthed before the Angel's fall Before the gates of hell
Primitive altars Fashioned not by man Carvings of antiquity Worn away by wind and sand Worn away by weather's hand
That is not dead which can eternal lie And with strange aeons even death may die
From the twilight shadows Time ceases to exist Nothing upon nothing In the black abyss Nothing upon nothing In the black abyss
Behold the nameless city Older than legend itself Birthed before the Angel's fall Before the gates of hell
