[Verse 1]

Our beating hearts drive us down

Down to the deepest foundation of life

In nature's womb, creation's ground in chaos

Where the secret key of the all lies concealed

[Chorus]

Blessed darkness

Shadow of earth

Lost and abandoned

By our time

Your secret ground

Your sacred ground

Ever reaching down

[Verse 2]

What is secretly perceived is made clear

My hand is but a tool of another farther located sphere

The chthonic spirit's wailing beckons from the other side

From the bridge of dark somber realms to the world of man

[Chorus]

Blessed darkness

Shadow of earth

Lost and abandoned

By our time

Your secret ground

Your sacred ground

Ever reaching down

Down, ever down

Deep within the labyrinth

In forgotten tombs they lie

Glistening in radiant splendor they cry

Far below the world of man
