Empire Deep Down Under lyrics

Behind the gate sealed by time There is a realm beyond your dreams Upon the ancient, forgotten thrones Sleeping, dreaming, demonic kings Bridge: Thousand towers and the house of the dead sleep as well Unknown to men, a world of unlight, so close to hell Across the river of flames, the bridge of death and the fields of the damned The walls of the city black and high, it all belongs to them Chorus: Empire deep down under No air to breathe, no life around Still somehow the city it feels alive The will within the ones who sleep Was born before the dawn of time Bridge, Chorus Black soil drinks blood to feed the dead Time for flesh and bone become one again Those who sleep awake, the lords of the deep Ancient powers gather to bring the end to the world of men
