lyrics

The road we took was long and twisted on its own:
Through the unlit back-alleys, where the greasy stones
Reluctantly would start to shimmer as the light
From my guide's dim lamp touched them with aversion.

Through sudden narrow breaches in the walls,
Exposing oozing bowels of the unkempt abodes,
With squelchy corridors, doors boarded up,
And then outdoors again, decrepit, lifeless.

Within this backside of the city's very bottom,
Where aeons calcify and even death may die,
The dark was parting - like some heavy velvet drapes -
Before a ghostly glimmer of an oil lamp.

...Then our descent began. The flights of stone stairs
- Straight, steady, almost uneroded - slowly gave place
To rusty staircases; their uneven spirals
Were getting narrower the further we moved down.

Eventually we had reached the bottom,
And through a heavy squeaky door we'd entered
Into a shaft of an enormous size. "Look up",
My guide said then, for me to freeze in awe:

Lit dimly from above, tremendous gears and spindles
Were hanging at a height. They seemed so vast,
That even thinking of their purpose made me shiver.
"We're almost there", said my guide, "let’s move on fast".
