The Descent

from The Descent by Chaos Doll

lyrics

So below, as above.
All that you have shall know our love.

Listen... closely.

You can hear the cries from the great below.
The shadows mourn the flame of Taurus.
The dead are restless in the dark.
All is hollow and blind.
Ripe for the taking.

From the sky we came to give honor.
Thus we made procession from the temple.
Clad in me, to stand before the seven gates.
Of the realm from which shall flee no mortal.

Behold the city of the dead.
Therein all shall lie in dust.
Whispering remembrances.
Of everything that once was.

Lo, tradition must be honored.
By those who seek to enter.

Thus, stepping through the first gate, undenied.
The crown of heaven must be cast aside.
Upon each gate we shed yet more.
Beads and strands of things we adore.
Casting off our plate and rings.
Our golden rod, as with other things.
Gazing then at the seventh gate.
Our final garment was tossed away.

Given entry to venture forth.
We made our way the throne of Kur.

Naked, we stood before Ereshkigal.
Dearest sister, we shall not bow.
She gazed upon us as death itself.
In that moment, our body fell.

The sound of rage and cries of guilt.
The searing pain as we are killed.
Our body thrust upon that hook.
Made rotting meat with just one look.
