Testimony

The gates to my subconscious, open wide

Hear and remember, the incantations I recite

Reveal the power, no longer known by man

Possess, before the ancients rule the earth once again

Beneath the seas and skies of the human mind

The abyss yawns wide before me

Uncertain what truth of lies I will find

Appear and share my wisdom, for I know thee

Descend into the foul places of death

I fear for my flesh, for I have seen my epitaph

The price I pay on this lonely journey

Is softened and I hope the gods will have mercy

From a time before a time a cold voice has spoken

From a land beyond the stars I evoke thee

In exchange for wisdom, what evil have I woken

What terrible faith shall consume me?

I've seen the future

I've seen the past

I've seen the sight of whom causeth horror

I've seen my place of rest

I've travelled on spheres, I've seen things

Beyond imagination

The things I have learned are the most pure revelation

Obliterated are the lines of my life

My blood cries out as I make my last sacrifice

I cannot see, I cannot move, 'cause sight is failing me

Knowing that the beasts of the spaces claim my blood

My blood turns black but frightened I cannot be

The bargain is sealed, the price to pay is to rot

Descend into the foul places of death

I fear for my flesh, for I have seen my epitaph

The price I pay on this lonely journey

Is softened and I hope the gods will have mercy

From a time before a time a cold voice has spoken

From a land beyond the stars I evoke thee

In exchange for wisdom, what evil have I woken

What terrible faith shall consume me?

I've seen the future

I've seen the past

I've seen the sight of whom causeth horror

I've seen my place of rest

Testimony of the ancient
