The sky had rustled red The birds grew quiet and fell The day no longer turned Night fell on the world ♪ The river ran murky with poison The land was desolate and black The bees had left the valley The orchards were hacked down ♪ The huts and castles were deserted The dusty roads were crowded In another direction I ran Through a deep crack in the Mountain I slipped
Descended into the otherworld Through a deep crack in the Mountain I slipped Into dark death in Manala's stream I dove ♪ I was carried by the rapids And my blood began to rush Then the river turned into a vein The vein into a crimson hall
And on its walls flickered the pictures Of your world, eternally dancing The hall pealed and rumble Through a deep crack in the Mountain I slipped
Descended into the otherworld Through a deep crack in the Mountain I slipped

Descended into the otherworld Through a deep crack in the Mountain I slipped Into dark death in Manala's stream I dove Manala's stream I dove
