Tomb
Golem Lyrics

Huge and menacing you lie ahead
Referring to the daunting challenge that lies ahead

No path you did reveal to me
The challenge is not straightforward and there are no clear instructions on how to overcome it

And fate drives me to your peak
Destiny compels the singer to face the challenge head-on

Where my doom shall be concealed
The ultimate outcome of the challenge is unknown

Darkness hides your traps
The challenge is deceptive and has hidden dangers

And unnumbered cliffs wait
The challenge has numerous obstacles to overcome

To be my icy tombstones
The obstacles have the potential to be fatal

Hidden, when at last I failed
The consequences of failure are not immediately apparent, but will ultimately be revealed

The hopeful morning far away
The end of the challenge is distant and uncertain

A misty moon betrays my yearn
The dream of overcoming the challenge is elusive and may not come to fruition

Harsh frost benumbs my limbs
The challenge is physically and emotionally draining

As weakness fills my universe
The challenge has a profound impact on the artist's entire existence

All my effort, fruitless and cursed
The singer's attempts to overcome the challenge have been unsuccessful and are seemingly doomed to fail

While the tearless heavens burst
The singer faces the challenge alone, without the aid of any higher power

Thus crushed to the snowy ground
The singer's hopes and dreams have been shattered by the challenge

And in a last vision I am drowned
The artist faces an uncertain future and is overwhelmed by the challenge

My chest's corroding, the white's bloodstained
The artist's body has been physically and emotionally damaged by the challenge

The rotten life-stream escapes from my flesh
The singer's life force is draining away as a result of the challenge

And having innocence denied the pain amplifies
The singer's pure intentions have been corrupted by the challenge, making the resulting pain even greater

That the sweet taste of suffering won't be soiled
The artist values the purity of the struggle and the lesson it has taught, even in the face of defeat

A bloodily devoured corpse I'll be soon
The artist sees ultimate failure as inevitable and foresees a painful end

Unremembered through this silent tune
The struggle will ultimately prove to be meaningless and will be forgotten by history

A carnal manifest against salvation
The challenge represents a physical manifestation of evil or spiritual corruption

Locked in a black hole of damnation
The artist is trapped in a hopeless cycle of despair and suffering
