Bridge of Bones

Lyrics for Bridge of Bones

I didn't find this place, it called to me A reeking from the other side of stone Underground in hiding as I was Was that a whisper? But I'm here alone... There lay a hole in the ground A hidden portal in the floor A putrid breeze was seeping out Against all sense I set out to explore [Lead - Cutler] Through the passage I did climb Down to a chamber vast as hell itself Had I lost my mind or did I really see An abysmal chasm with a bridge of bones Before me? A nauseating reddish light filled the gloom Transfixed I walked up to the bridge bizarre Horrified I realized the truth The skulls and legs and arms looked so familiar In shock I scrambled back up To the bleakness of the moor The winds were foul, the bones were gone I reeled in sickening horror The abomination of a bridge Must be the morbid key I had to go down again and face insanity [Lead - Coralles] A dark descent beneath the earth And hell was waiting there I stepped onto the skeletal span And walked across in terror I reached the other side To see a coffin standing bare And then the voices faded in Grotesque beyond compare The box was open, death was near I heard the casket's calling clear My victims screaming in my head I stepped inside and closed the lid
