His Abysmal Grave by Astrophobos Lyrics

In the blackness everlasting under
The storming and furious brine
A dire cyclopean wonder
The palace of the great malign

Protecting inert, quiescent powers
The mausoleum is drowned
The greatest monument towers
In a watery burial ground

Crumbling for ages, but still it remains
The sepulchre with its cadaver in chains

Time-eaten, mouldering architrave
Adorning the sunken abysmal grave
Weed-covered friezes adorn the façade
Oblique caryatids surrounding the god

Cracking, twisted sculptures portraying
A pantheon’s ruler set free
Mountainous colonnades, decaying
Ruins of supremacy
Frenzied oracles in pneuma foretelling
The ascent from fathomless gloom
The divine corpse rouses from his dwelling
With his stony, rotten tomb

A necropolis, solemn, preserving his breath
A towering column, commemorating his death

Crumbling for ages, but still it remains
The sepulchre with its cadaver in chains

Time-eaten, mouldering architrave
Adorning the sunken abysmal grave
Weed-covered friezes adorn the façade
Oblique caryatids surrounding the god
