Chess with the Abyss (Live in Oslo) - Dimmu Borgir

Old dreams return

Disillusioned I yearn

Am I buried beneath sand and clay

The caress of cold soil

With limbs crippled to the coil

Locked inside a nightmare womb

Tarnished and grief stricken

Emptiness within a void

Longing for the sun to shine

To discourage the demonoid

Salvation

Darkness reborn

Salvation

Salvation

Darkness reborn

Salvation

Old dreams return

Disillusioned I yearn

Am I buried beneath sand and clay

The caress of cold soil

With limbs crippled to the coil

Locked inside a nightmare womb

We seem to keep fading away

Holding on to that last final sway

A doctrine of self-salvation

Darkness reborn on resurrection day

Stagnating in dead waters

While circling above the surface

Of the deep pale desert sea

Cutting that other life of lines

Salvation

Wish we'd never met

Salvation

And rather gone our separate ways

Salvation

All times spent together

Salvation

Are the darkest of days

Salvation

Darkness reborn
