[00:02.52]Songs Title：catacomb
[00:04.83]
[00:44.55]Down into the dark I go, armed with just a candle and then my soul
[00:53.29]Cryptic messages written on the floor
[00:56.79]
[00:57.30]Rats are nibbling at my feet, I send one off to nevermore
[01:01.80]Too much darkness, spiders on my eyes
[01:05.86]Webs are hanging from my thighs, the fatter ones must die
[01:09.67]
[01:10.54]I see shadows walking straight and tall
[01:14.11]
[01:14.80]I dont know how they move, dancing on the walls
[01:18.54]
[01:19.54]Presence of fear, a presence so near
[01:23.04]I wonder what could be so powerful beyond the dark
[01:27.67]
[01:28.98]Human bones... in little chambers all along the narrow halls
[01:36.35]
[01:36.92]Catacomb, death over life... catacomb, am I here to die?
[01:46.60]
[01:48.48]I see a light, I push some bones aside
[01:55.80]
[02:11.54]Down into the dark I go, another chamber, a chamber with a glow
[02:20.55]Could this be a doorway to another world?
[02:24.99]Or darkness playing tricks, with my little mind?
[02:29.30]The virgin mary is standing tall
[02:33.17]A full size figure carved in wood up against the wall
[02:36.86]
[02:37.67]Her face is peeling from all the years gone by
[02:41.79]Is it just a statue, or is it what Im looking for?
[02:46.42]I break her face and see another one instead
[02:50.55]The mummys face appears as the bandages they fall
[02:54.42]
[02:55.04]Dried out face with hate upon me gaze
[02:59.73]How grotesque... the mummy wears a crown of thorns
[03:04.05]From the empty sockets where its eyes should be
[03:08.42]An entity of light is pouring out towards me
[03:12.78]And then the sound... jesus christ,what have they done to you?
[03:21.53]
[03:39.07]Im running for my life, Im running from the night
[03:43.19]But its so hard to breathe, the stench down here is much too much
[03:47.50]Satan help me, help me god
[03:49.57]Help me anyone, anyone who hears my cry of fear
[03:56.28]Cold winds from far beyond the dark
[03:59.84]
[04:00.53]Chasing through the catacomb and breathing down my neck
[04:05.06]Human bones... in little chambers all along the narrow halls
[04:13.44]
[04:13.99]Catacomb, death over life... catacomb, am I here to die?
[04:23.12]
[04:29.18]I know Im here to die
