Empire Deep Down Under

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
