Lyrics Dimmu Borgir

Dimmu Borgir

Chess with the Abyss

Old dreams return

Disillusioned I yearn

Am I buried beneath sand and clay?

The caress of cold soil

With limbs crippled to the coil

Locked inside a nightmare womb

Tarnished and grief stricken

Emptiness within a void

Longing for the sun to shine

To discourage the demonoid

Salvation!

Darkness reborn!

We seem to keep fading away

Holding on to that last final sway

A doctrine of self salvation

Darkness reborn on resurrection day?

Stagnating in dead waters

While circling above the surface

Of the deep pale desert sea

Cutting that other life of lines

Salvation!

Wish we'd never met

Salvation!

And rather gone our separate ways

Salvation!

All times spent together

Salvation!

Are the darkest of days

Salvation!

Darkness reborn!
