Nameless City Lyrics

"That is not dead which can eternally lie
And with strange aeons death may die"
That's what the poet wrote of the ancient fortress
The night he dreamt, lead by his madness

Pillars and shrines, peculiar reptile kinds
Enrobed in gold to crown their grotesqueness
Pageants of souls, depicted on the walls
Deathless' the folk, disturbing the paintings

There is no legend so old as to give
The city a name, nor to the men who there lived
There is no trace of humanity here
Down to the abyss I proceed with no fear

(Chorus)
Nameless the city lies among the sands, deep in the desert
Haunted, mysterious shrines, untold rites.
Restless is my descent towards the depths, to find the answers
Will I ever solve the mystery? I cannot find the key!

Maybe I should have listened to their warnings
And shun this place but now it's too late
To satisfy my hunger for the unknown
I may soon die, I'm sure it was worth it

Pillars and shrines, peculiar reptile kinds
Enrobed in gold to crown their grotesqueness
Pageants of souls, depicted on the walls
Deathless the folk, disturbing the paintings

There is no legend so old as to give
The city a name, nor to the men who there lived
There is no trace of humanity here
Down to the abyss I proceed with no fear

(Chorus)

A storm is coming this way
The night's descending on this scary land
To last forever on

I am forgotten, falling from grace
Now I belong to this place

(Chorus)
