King Crimson - Catacomb lyrics
Down into the dark i go, armed with just a candle and then my soul
 Cryptic messages written on the floor
 Rats are nibbling at my feet, i send one off to nevermore
 Too much darkness, spiders on my eyes
 Webs are hanging from my thighs, the fatter ones must die
 I see shadows walking straight and tall
 I don't know how they move, dancing on the walls
 Presence of fear, a presence so near
 I wonder what could be so powerful beyond the dark
 Human bones... in little chambers all along the narrow halls
 Catacomb, death over life... catacomb, am i here to die?
 I see a light, i push some bones aside
 Down into the dark i go, another chamber, a chamber with a glow
 Could this be a doorway to another world?
 Or darkness playing tricks, with my little mind?
 The virgin mary is standing tall
 A full size figure carved in wood up against the wall
 Her face is peeling from all the years gone byKing Crimson - Catacomb - http://motolyrics.com/king-crimson/catacomb-lyrics.html
 Is it just a statue, or is it what i'm looking for?
 I break her face and see another one instead
 The mummy's face appears as the bandages they fall
 Dried out face with hate upon me gaze
 How grotesque... the mummy wears a crown of thorns
 From the empty sockets where its eyes should be
 An entity of light is pouring out towards me
 And then the sound... jesus christ,what have they done to you?
 I'm running for my life, i'm running from the night
 But it's so hard to breathe, the stench down here is much too much
 Satan help me, help me god
 Help me anyone, anyone who hears my cry of fear
 Cold winds from far beyond the dark
 Chasing through the catacomb and breathing down my neck
 Human bones... in little chambers all along the narrow halls
 Catacomb, death over life... catacomb, am i here to die?
 I know i'm here to die
