Dimmu Borgir
Chess With the Abyss (Live in Wacken)
[Verse]
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
[Refrain]
Tarnished and grief-stricken
Emptiness within a void
Longing for the sun to shine
To discourage the demonoid
[Interlude]
Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi...
[Hook]
Salvation
Darkness reborn
Salvation
Salvation
Darkness reborn
Salvation
[Guitar solo]
[Verse]
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
[Interlude]
Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi...
[Bridge]
We seem to keep fading away
Holding on to that last final sway
A doctrine of self-salvation
Darkness reborn on resurrection day
[Refrain 2]
Stagnating in dead waters
While circling above the surface
Of the deep pale desert sea
Cutting that other life of lines
[Outro]
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
[Spoken]
Thank you very much!
