lyrics
Upon entry, light fades fast, a strange fog obscuring most sights. Densely packed trees, wide and withered, lie before me with no clear path between. The lantern I carry only shows a small space before me. Many strange visages appear out of the haze.
A weeping figure who will not respond, an elder begging for a finger, a clearing of blistering pustules, a nest of large wasps with human faces.
A large equestrian figure, taller than three men, with 12 mouths and 16 eyes covering its body, speaks a language unrecognizable to my ears. And yet, I hear a message: “A futile effort…” A gap between trees with several large bones growing holds reeds which whisper bizarre oddities. And still, I hear the message: “A futile effort…”
I come across a large hole, too dark to shine light into, which I am told to jump into by a man with a beetle’s face. The dark fills me with fear, but the man gives me a strange sense of calmness. I brace myself and dive in, abandoning all sense.
