The Passage Lyrics

Careless and smug, strong in his stupid faith
He delves into the basement without floor

Only murky water invisible for the dark
And silence

A lamp marks the steep path
In a filthy tunnel dump and rotten

Continuous loss of fluid from the wall
That crumbles on contact
Opening between the bricks allows the passage

But he can't know, he can't see
The river outlines the gloomy cavern

At the bottom an uneven wall
Passage from which water flows
Without fear approaches
He wants to know, wants to see

A hand comes out of the hole
The rotting corpse now can move

The passage
The passage takes shape
It expands
No more stone, the void
Distant voices

Fingers plunge into the orbits
Squeeze his eyes
That dart away

Now he knows, now he sees
His body floating in the river
