Grabak - Symphony of the Black Abyss

Wandering through my dreams
I arrive at the midpoint of the world
The view on this etherial reality
Extincts all memories of my former life

A diabolical power forces me to step into the black cathedral
With feverish eyes I follow the way
Of flickering torches
A huge hall welcomes me after a while

An old book decorated with symbols and faces
Seems to be the heart of the dome
My fingers are trembling as I open the first chapter
With a whispering voice I read the secret words

From the sign by 5 black candles
Read out the occult letters
V.I.T.R.I.O.L.

By a flash the ground is opened
And the abyss devours my body
Feeling the eternity
I am fusing with the black
My mouth forms a silent scream
My soul bursts in a million sparks
Ripped by the cosmic force
I don't need it anymore

Myriad stars show me the way to knowledge
Their light burns out my eyes
I don't need them anymore

The body of mine drifts into a new existence
Deeper and deeper I dive into
The infinite abyss of my gloomy desires

Visions of long passed times are glowing in my mind
Suddenly I see the cosmic key of creation

I recognize the nature of the universe

No, it wasn't god - it was me
Only with my thoughts I created this world

The immortality of myself freezes my emotions
I don't need them anymore
Am I god? Have I reached all knowledge?

A new whirl pulls me deeper into the dimension of silence
In a gallery of glimmering soulpieces
I see another altar carrying a second book
Once again I read the words

Lux Occulta

It burns my own final thought and then I know...

I am only one of 1000 new born gods
With the permission to serve the author of the books

So I am damned to know the truth
But able to see...
Able to see
Able to see
