Music by Alex Armuschio & Marco Catalano
Lyrics by Wilma Collo
THERE’S A CORE OF DARKNESS IN THE NORTHWEST LAND
THE REFUGE OF WICKED SPIRITS THAT WERE BANNED
THERE’S A FORTRESS RISING UNRELENTINGLY
SECRET AGGREGATION OF INIQUITY
MILE AFTER MILE OF MEANDERING DIRECTION
SLAB AFTER SLAB IN UNHOLY PERFECTION
THERE ARE CELLS DOWN BELOW WHERE BONDMEN GROAN
FIERCENESS AND CONTEMPT IN A MIND OF STONE
THE STRIDENT CLANGOR OF METALLIC GNASH
THE GORY HISSING OF THE SCORCHING LASH
THE UNCEASING HAMMERING OF PILE ON PILE
A FIENDISH FABRIC FOR THE LORD OF GUILE
THEY’RE RAISING MASSES OF GRANITIC HEIGHT
PERTURBING SCREECHES AT THE DEAD OF NIGHT
THEY’RE HITTING HARDER THAN THE HAVOC WROUGHT
THEY’RE DELVING DEEPER THAN THE BLACKEST THOUGHT
MILE AFTER MILE OF MEANDERING DIRECTION
SLAB AFTER SLAB IN UNHOLY PERFECTION
THERE ARE CELLS DOWN BELOW WHERE BONDMEN GROAN
FIERCENESS AND CONTEMPT IN A MIND OF STONE
THE STRIDENT CLANGOR OF METALLIC GNASH
THE GORY HISSING OF THE SCORCHING LASH
THEY’RE RAISING MASSES OF GRANITIC HEIGHT
PERTURBING SCREECHES AT THE DEAD OF NIGHT
THEY’RE HITTING HARDER THAN THE HAVOC WROUGHT
THEY’RE DELVING DEEPER THAN THE BLACKEST THOUGHT
[BLACKHEART]
TWO SHADOWS FLEE IN FRENZIED HASTE
THE STRANGLED CONSCIENCE OF A SPIRIT LAID WASTE
A SPIDER’S HEART THAT NEVER SITS STILL
AN EMPTINESS THAT NOTHING WILL FILL
AND LARCENY STRETCHES BEYOND EVERY MARK
IN THE UNMERCIED WAR OF DARK AGAINST DARK
WHERE HIGH WINDS SNARL, BOULDERS ARE BLEAK
THE COSMOS SHAKES AT THE BLOOD-CURDLING SHRIEK
AND THOSE WHO HID BURST OUT AND DASH
DEMONIC MIGHT, A FIERY LASH
AND SHE WHO SURGES UP AND HITS
NOW TREMBLING SEEKS UNLIGHTED PITS
WHERE WEBS OF LUST SHALL NOT BETRAY
THE SPIDER CREATURE’S HIDEAWAY
THEY’RE HITTING HARDER
THEY’RE DELVING DEEPER
HITTING HARDER, DEEPER THAN THE BLACKEST THOUGHT
