[Intro 1]
[C][C5][C][C5]
[E5]De profundis mors advocat! the

[Verse 1]
[F]
[E5]pact is sealed, crystal[F]lised
[C5]dark are the [Db5]paths without [C5]re tu[Db5]rn
[B#5]ash and bl[Db5]ood co[B#5]l our my w[Db5]orld
[E5]ever downward wind[B]ing step[F]s
[E5]spiraling to the utmost depth[F]s
[C5]where the sun [Db5]is but a memor[C5]y of a[Db5] murdered
[B#5]dream[Db5]

[Interlude 1]
[B#5][B][Bb5][C#5][Dm][C#5][A5]
[C5]

[Verse 2]
[Bb5]As if emerged from the
[C#5]Abyss[Dm]
evoked by his own tounghe
[C#5]Antichrist, Devil's child
possessed by the night
[C5][E5]

[Verse 3]
Through will unfettered in
[F#5]darkne[G5]ss[F]
[E5]Death was granted [G5]life[F]
the [E5]blind man was given [G5]sight[F]
and [E5]the fivefold [G5]star[F][G5][A5]
[E5]to shine [F]forevermore[G5]
[G#5]as a f[E5]lame within the hea[G5]rt[E5]
restlessly beckoning through
the guilt and [G5]vanity [G#5]of a
[E5]world deaf to it's call

[Verse 4]
[E5][F][G5]
[G#5]To dare w[C#5]hat's lit sole by
the friar's lan[C5]tern
[Db5]throug[C5]h la[A5]byrinths[Db5] so
desolate and [C5]dark[G#][B#5]
to [Db5]travel [Dbm]far in solitude
[C#5]and silenc[B#5]e
[A5]'cross [Db5]thornclad deserts vast[C5]
[E5]to witness the erection of a t[G5]emple
at [E5]the place where order dies
and chaos [G5]unfold
it's [E5]tower shall lean out
over [G5]the precipise
oh [Ab5]the wo[E5]n der's those that
mount it shall [G5]behold
for [Db5]there the waves of Absu smash
the rocks of [C5]definition
[A5]and [Db5]feast upon them with erosive f[C5]or ce
[G5]yes there [Db5]the ancient giants
of primordial [Dm]water[E5]s
are [E#]hunt[Db5] ing in the twilight near
[B#5]the shores[C#5][C5][C#5][C5]
and [C]I am their s[C5]on, m[C#5]y ribc[E5]age the shrine,
[F]my fle[E5]sh the[F] prison
for my [C5]blood is their [C#5]blood,
my [C5]will is [C#5]their's
[B#5]mine is the g[C#5]ift that shall
con[C5]quer all [C#5]fears
see my [E5]glowing eyes reflect
a [F]heart that [E5]burns[F]
that [C5]in turn re[C#5]flects the [C5]chasm for [C#5]which it yearns

[Verse 5]
[Bb5]He shall return to the
[C#5]Abyss[Dm]
heeding his masters [F]call[E5]
[D5]Anti[Dm]christ, [C#5]Devil's child
at one with the night
[C5][E5]

[Verse 6]
Wordless without form in
[E]deepest [F]depths,
yet [E5]most besung, most
present and [G5]most [F]high
thou [E5]wellspring [Em]from which
horror's [G5]holy [F]flow
through [E5]gates wide [F#5]open
[G5][F][G5][G#5][A5]
[E5]thou who placed these words of
praise upon my [F]lips[G5]
[G#5]the infant[E5]'s cry and the
rapist's sigh of [F]joy[G5]
[G#5]the wo[E5]rld has gone
blurred but the road gets
ever [F]clearer [G5]in sear[E5]ch of
thy burning kingdom
[F][G5]
