What evil awaits inside?
Emerging is an aura which stifles my mind,
It pulls me below,
It draws me within,
A darkness so dense, I tense up,
As it collects on my skin,
In this cavity of malady and doom,
Many a champion have perished,
This hollow forever their tomb,
What evil awaits in the great fissures below,
In this chasm of graves for those lingering souls?
Do I dare to delve into this abyss ahead?
Or do I heed this ominous scent of death?
O' but it calls me so,
This invitation to my fate,
Be it a fate of triumph or defeat...
Still... it calls me so,
This stark voice—a mere whisper,
Yet inexorable—emphatic and deafening:
A call to glory, of trials to overcome,
And so I give in…
Plunged into the depths of the Earth,
To a place wherein the whispers above,
Become a shrill howling of those agonizing souls,
Just as those who came before,
I sink to the cavern's core,
To face the ruler of the underworld,
What evil do I defy?
Before me is an aura which stifles my mind,
It seals me inside and draws me within,
As it drains all my mana away, the struggle begins...
Cut down to my last breath,
The hand of God now falls upon me...
Do not dare to delve into this abyss ahead...
In this cavity of despair,
We are greeted with our souls, laid bare,
Please heed the cries of the fallen souls who came before,
Lest you meet your end and share this sepulcher...

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
