Language Of The Shadows - Nile

Abandon hope

And I shall become free

And with freedom acquire emptiness

With the mind cleansed and empty

There is the void known as despair

A gateway upon an emptiness endless and vast

In despair the language of the shadows is intelligible

In madness all sounds become articulate

Terror and despair they guide me

Into nightmares that follow one upon the other

Like windblown grains of sand

I have become as the wastelands

Of unending nothingness

Now shall the night things

Fill me with their whisperings

And the shadows reveal their wisdom
