9. The Serpent's Trail (6:01)
[Verse 1]
There's a crack in reality
Inside there is a hidden veil
I sense my fate waits for me
As I descend the serpent's trail
The winding path downwards leads me
Through twisted trees and stinking bogs
I dare not stop to look around me
I'll lose myself in thickening fog
[Pre-Chorus]
Into darkness, I am drifting
I am losing my direction
[Chorus]
Someone told me, keep your feet
If you are to walk this way
A fearless heart with a steady beat
Or else you may be led astray
What you look for, what you seek
Is at the end of this trail
You must walk with a steady beat
Or else you may be led astray
You will drift away
[Verse 2]
I see shapes of men among the trees
Stuck in a place of frozen glow
They're turned to stone by what they've seen
A pain and fear they can't let go
I spiral down towards the earth's core
Where all my terrors seem to dwell
Where many who have come before
Stumbled, crumbled and they fell
[Pre-Chorus]
Into darkness, I am drifting
I am losing my direction
[Chorus]
Someone told me, keep your feet
If you are to walk this way
A fearless heart with a steady beat
Or else you may be led astray
No return, no retreat
But you will surely find your way
Keep your heart at a steady beat
And you will live to fight another day
[Bridge]
And there it is, the river Gjoll
Flowing cold with tears of grief
One cannot swim the river Gjoll
One has to cross the golden bridge
I reach the depths of Nifelhel
Alone, naked, and weak
Then appears the Goddess Hel
Who the dead and wretched keeps
But as I face my deepest fears
I open up my heart
And so a different path appears
My ascension starts
There's a crack in reality
Inside there is a hidden veil
I sense my fate waits for me
As I descend the serpent's trail
The winding path downwards leads me
Through twisted trees and stinking bogs
I dare not stop to look around me
I'll lose myself in thickening fog
[Pre-Chorus]
Into darkness, I am drifting
I am losing my direction
[Chorus]
Someone told me, keep your feet
If you are to walk this way
A fearless heart with a steady beat
Or else you may be led astray
What you look for, what you seek
Is at the end of this trail
You must walk with a steady beat
Or else you may be led astray
You will drift away
[Verse 2]
I see shapes of men among the trees
Stuck in a place of frozen glow
They're turned to stone by what they've seen
A pain and fear they can't let go
I spiral down towards the earth's core
Where all my terrors seem to dwell
Where many who have come before
Stumbled, crumbled and they fell
[Pre-Chorus]
Into darkness, I am drifting
I am losing my direction
[Chorus]
Someone told me, keep your feet
If you are to walk this way
A fearless heart with a steady beat
Or else you may be led astray
No return, no retreat
But you will surely find your way
Keep your heart at a steady beat
And you will live to fight another day
[Bridge]
And there it is, the river Gjoll
Flowing cold with tears of grief
One cannot swim the river Gjoll
One has to cross the golden bridge
I reach the depths of Nifelhel
Alone, naked, and weak
Then appears the Goddess Hel
Who the dead and wretched keeps
But as I face my deepest fears
I open up my heart
And so a different path appears
My ascension starts
