The Devil's Root

from El Ahorcado by El Ahorcado

/

lyrics

Cold air leads the way
As the sun blinds my eyes
And seals the dust and the sweat
Like preys in chains

The key to the truth should be nigh
We look for the only holy crown
That waits somewhere on the ground
Earth for the wise

Descended the mountains
To reveal the secrets of yore
And see the real world
Behind all the lies

The chosen ones must be proud
They have found many holy crowns
Earth had them long enough
We must go on

Centuries of growth
Not gone but transformed
A vessel I’ve become as to the soil
I will return
And I will return

Sailing the mind
The universe pries
Waking the divine
Insight at last

All these beings staring with devilish eyes
Whispering to me across the distance and the night

It’s driving me mad
I’ve been left behind
Reality’s hard on the blind
Is there a way out?

There’s a fiend taping my ears
Punishing me as I am sinking deep in guilt

I’m taking the path back
With fiction on my side
My brethren will be left behind
I can’t find a way out

Lost inside this unknown but evil dimension
Confused by the mirror and its many echoes
All I got to see was a shattered reflection
A bottomless pit of fear and alienation
Shadows engulf
The hollow’s reborn
And into the void
I will fall
