lyrics
All men must step into the
unknown realms below
Where ebon shades lie heavy
and the dark rivers flow
To join the blighted souls of old,
beyond the veil
Descend into the darkness
from where no light returns
Cross the ethereal threshold
As the corporeal burns
All mortal aspirations
as seeds in fertile soil
may bud or blossom only
to the scythe then fall
Sed omnis una manet nox
et calcanda semel via leti
Ascend unearthly spectre
to guide their path below
To the cimmerian nightshade
where all men must go
Into the depths of that hungering abyss
Stripped of all fleshly burdens
upon that Stygian strand
Purged of all former glories
by death's disrobing hand
The flames of hope and and longing are now extinguished
The souls once bound in flesh have now been relinquished
The dreams of celestial glories are now all vanquished
Their haunted cries and whispers, reverberate so anguished
Each creature beckoned into that lightless chasm
Sed omnis una manet nox
et calcanda semel via leti
Now sound the bells of quittance
from the abysmal shrine
The cup has been drained, yet lingers
a taste of bitter wine
Descend into the darkness
from where no light returns
Cross the ethereal threshold
As the corporeal finally burns
