Songtext von Underworld

On the left hand of the throne of disease I lick the wounds of the leper king The stench of his carcass reaches to the sky Ever dying yet never dead Ignorance is a putrefying fire Yet in these realms the old order dies Creatures create weapons of flesh Raised from the darkness and from the shadow play Dancing figures can hold no sway Gaining release from the murky depths We denizens of dark bask now in noonday Casting off this sickly coil Awakening to a new dawn Embracing intoxicating wisdom Finding treasures long forgotten Sweet Sophia be my guide Lead me from this shallow grave Let me come and taste the light And shake off all earthly care Once awakened there can be no return Dancing shadows lose appeal Casting off this sickly coil Awakening to a new dawn
