Tribulation — Cries from the Underworld

[Verse 1] Our beating hearts drive us down Down to the deepest foundation of life In nature's womb, creation's ground in chaos Where the secret key of the all lies concealed [Chorus] Blessed darkness Shadow of earth Lost and abandoned By our time Your secret ground Your sacred ground Ever reaching down [Verse 2] What is secretly perceived is made clear My hand is but a tool of another farther located sphere The chthonic spirit's wailing beckons from the other side From the bridge of dark somber realms to the world of man [Chorus] Blessed darkness Shadow of earth Lost and abandoned By our time Your secret ground Your sacred ground Ever reaching down Down, ever down Deep within the labyrinth In forgotten tombs they lie Glistening in radiant splendor they cry Far below the world of man
