Downwards, search and you shall find

Certain as the setting sun was so descent

But the deeps are old and without end

There's more than darkness in them

More than a heart may hold

More than man may learn

Before the eyes of a god

In judgement stern

Down there

You shall reap what you have sown

There flow the rivers of our being out of sight

Into never ending night

All we have ever known

All that was and is to come

And all which never came to pass

In that abyss alike extinguished

Down there

All that a heart may hold

All that man may learn

In that piercing light

To ashes turn

Yet without fear

We must journey there

And stand erect

Before the lidless stare
