Tales, warn of a fate
Death, reward that awaits
Flesh, unbearably cold
Curse, has begun to unfold

Travel deeper, start to sink
Your fear will forge the missing link
Shackled now, you've set it free
Horrors born of iniquity

Bliss ends
Wisdom

Breathe, a sickening must
Thoughts, poison your trust
Fear, deadens your dreams
Mind, splits at the seams

Travel deeper, start to sink
Your fear will forge the missing link
Shackled now, you've set it free
Horrors born of iniquity

Bliss Ends
Wisdom

They say it's a lie
Die
The marsh is alive
Rise

Ice covers your limbs
Salt sculpting your skin
Lodge of infamy
Enthroned in misery

Travel deeper, start to sink
Your fear will forge the missing link
Shackled now, you've set it free
Horrors born of iniquity

Bliss Ends
Wisdom

They say it's a lie
Die
The marsh is alive
Rise

Conqueror now
Sharp is my blade
It shapes the truth

In my domain
Cold is my reign
Strength in treason

Fortess of ice
Trapped but not bound
Scry beyond walls

Betrayal of all
Warmth and of light
Dusk brings clear sight
