lyrics

As Above It will be below
(As Above It will be below)
I'm made to crawl
Scraping skin off the bone
On our bellies
The words will haunt me! Forever more
(Abandon hope all Ye who enter in here)
All Ye who in enter here!
You will be lost
Of all the treasures and the myths! Why have I been drawn to this?
And not a fairytale
Of peace and love
(Sacrifice)
My fatherly soul's insanity
awoke the curse in me
Of all the myths to raise your child upon
Child upon
As Above It will be below
(As Above It will be below)
I'm made to crawl
Scraping skin off the bone! On our bellie
The words will haunt me
Forever more
(Abandon hope) Ye who enter in here
You will become
Unholy child
Forgive us
Come, and rec!tify your guilt

(Sacrifice in search for the stone)
An alchemist of my own blood
The mystery has fallen to me
(And I'm in search of the stone that)
Turns all base metals to gold
(Centuries in a quest for the stone)
The Alchemists have chased this dream
Now the mystery has fallen to me
(And I'm in search of the stone that)
Turns all base metals to gold
Gold!

Hidden in a holy land
The Dasht-e Kavir lies in the east
And beneath these shifting sands
An ancient decoder - The Rose Key I found

So 741 feet below
The dead will show
Us towards the stone
The 6 million corpses that rest their bones
When the trumpet sounds
The dead will rise
Oh down in the empire of the dead!

Deeper down we dive
towards the middle of the earth
As above it will be down below
The silence it descends and all around us hell awakens
I've bought our death with my curse

All my life the adventure
has fuelled my curiosity
But now I hope that we can make it out alive
(Make it! Make it! Out alive! Out alive!)
These illusions we see
(The trepidity)
Of our history
Hell's deception
Buried wisdom
Within us all
We'll find that stone
Or die below!
(Die die)
I will not die down below!

Spheres in the sky!
The seventh leads onwards to the
Crypt of the immortal man
I will find the stone! before the rest should die
Scarlet is the colour of eternity
Condemned to be
Buried inside

So close it must be
so far it would seem
as i surface my breath is taken from me
the earth, while so deep, the night sky it speaks
as it swallows the sun and the stone!
(We found it! the Stone!)

Wait!
What better way,
to hide the most valuable rock ever created by man?
Don't touch!
Treasures Of!
Never Take!
Direction No!
Stop!
(Cogito Ergo Sum)
It's like my father always said! 'I think, Therefore i am'
Our brains, crushed to dust!
when the roof collapses on us

Dust and debris!
So much dust and debris! (So must dust oh)
We must leave all those behind
and the food and supplies we will never find again

As above so it is below!
(So it is down below) (So it is do!wn below)
Crawl upon your flesh
paint the walls with your scarlet offering!
As above, so it is below
(So it is down below) (So it is down below)
Below and all around
death climbs up but up is down
(As above so it is in hell)
Hell!
Is a place of stone and clowns that will tear a hole in your neck
as we watch you die so slowly!
by rectification we’ll find the real stone

So 741 feet below my heart will show me towards the stone
The 6 million corpses that rest their bones
When the trumpet sounds we'll make it out!
Out from the empire of the!
Out from the empire of the!
Out from the empire of the DEAD!
