The Viol and the Abyss Lyrics

Don't look through the window
No matter what you hear
Don't lurk in the shadow
Don't listen to your fear

I shall stand and rest
While you go till the last
Play another tune, mad viol of doom

(Viol of doom!)

Hidden behind the door
Darkness flows all around
Music melts to the core
Bounces to the ground

I shall stand and rest
While you go till the last
Play another tune, mad viol of doom

Leaping, floating, flying down
Through endless stairs
Where every step you take
Leads to the abyss - (that) will make you break

Play old man, never stop
Ward them off from the light
Delirious, desperate
Free thoughts crossing the night
Crawling to madness gate
Through every word you write
Play old man, never stop
Ward them off from the light

I shall stand and rest
While you go till the last
Play another tune, mad viol of doom

Leaping, floating, flying down
Through endless stairs
Down to the narrow street
From deepest darkness / to reality

I'm old and tired
I'm rather scared
Make this nightmare end
Let me climb and stand
Any escape (is) but a pitiful illusion
From an old prophecy
That wasn't meant to be

...wasn't meant to be...
...wasn't meant to be...
