The Pit
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I ascend from the shit
Up to the edge of the bottomless pit
Reborn, I am free
Like a fetus again
I learn how to breathe
The darkness was a cocoon
Just like the moth, I escape the gloom
A sparkle deep within
Let out the flame that begot me to win
There is no way to quell my desire
The energy inside the void
The fire
Cast down from the skies
Carrying the weight of the world’s despise
A downfall made me see
This hole gave birth to the preacher in me
There is no way to quell my desire
The energy inside the void
The fire
Come closer to me
Come closer to me
Come closer to me and be truly free
There is no way to quell my desire
The energy inside the void
The fire
