Ancient Atrocity Lyrics

The statues rise above the firmament
Judging everyone who walks through its doors
For these keep the secrets of an ancient world that should not see the light

Age of fire
Age of blood
Land of curses
Lords of chaos

The walls tell macabre stories, stories that should not have been told
Did you think plagues were everything?
The further you go through the maze, the closer you are to know the truth
Truths that should not see the light

Be careful where you step, there are traps everywhere
Be careful what you say, there are ears behind the walls
Taking a step back doesn't seem like an option, you can only go forward
But these are not the pitfalls that should concern you

It seems that you have arrived
The jackals herald your arrival
Gold lights your way and you think you've made it
You need one last test, will you be able to get out?

The real danger is not the passageways
It is what you hide in the depths of your being
Guarded by the sphinxes, the green-skinned god awaits you

He knows what you've done, and he is able to see beyond
His glowing purple eyes blind your vision
Showing you that you chose the wrong path
Well, the only trap in the temple was your mind

Age of fire
Age of blood
Land of curses
Lords of chaos

Harbingers of evil
Riddle creators

Now your body rests with those who already died
The sun and heat erode what's left of you
A pile of gold and bones marks your final resting place
The desert sand will cover your grave, forgotten and nameless
