Kellerkind

As Orpheus ventured into the darkness,
He followed Eurydice
To save her from the abyss of the underworld
And failed
And if I now walk into the dark,
Will you follow your love
There where the step breaks
At the bottom of the deepest staircase

As he turned back too soon
The hero after his beloved
Hades took her down
Where the darkness was deepest
And if you follow me
Into the basement of my soul
Will your mind be torn apart,
When I turn around?

In all of us lies a place
That defies all imagination
Look at me, I've been there before
And that horror never leaves me

Don't follow me on my paths
Paths lead you out of my world
Don't wait for me in this life
Steps lead down, countless

Basement dweller!
Never find a way out…!

Down there where the walls whisper,
Every door leads into the dark
Stones sing my name,
Pale moss touches the skin
Every corridor a new mouth,
Pulling me into the darkness
Into the abyss of my childhood where the
Light flees the steps

Deeper, deeper my step paints
Every step sucks the tread
Downwards and no way brings me luck
To the light where I once left you behind
Every heart is a labyrinth

Some shallow - some deep, my child
And if I don't find the way back
Don't hold back
And just follow the spring wind

Why do you stand there and look so sad
Can't you hear the song of the distant world
In here it's only me,
And soon I'll go
Steps lead down, countless

Don't follow me on my paths
Paths lead you out of my world
Don't wait for me in this life
Steps lead down, countless
