Written by old Claude and eddie [Verse] Chalk and candle, blood and bone Ancient words, not mine own Flickering shadows dance and sway As I conjure what should not be today [Chorus] From the depths, I call you forth Whispers of the void, show your worth Power courses through my veins But sanity slips its chains [Verse] Eyes of flame, wings of night My creation, my delight But something's wrong, it's growing strong The summoner becomes the thrall [Chorus] From the depths, I call you forth Whispers of the void, show your worth Power courses through my veins But sanity slips its chains [Bridge] Spiral, spiral, down I fall Echoes of madness line the hall Was I the master? Was I the slave? Reality bends, as does my grave [Spoken/whispered section with intensifying instrumental] The boundaries blur, the veil grows thin I can't tell where I end and it begins Am I the summoner or the summoned now? To the darkness, I unwittingly bow [Chorus] From the depths, it drags me down (from the depths, it drags me down) Whispers of the void, now I drown (whispers of the void, now I drown) Power courses, but at what cost? (power courses, but at what cost?) In the abyss, I'm forever lost (lost lost lost lost lost lost lost) [Outro] "What have I done?" "Who am I?" "Where does it end?" "Am I alive?" [End]
