[Verse 1]
[F#]into the dark [F#m]I go, ar[A5]med [F#m]with j[C5]ust a candl[F#]e and[F] th[F#]en my sou[C5]l[G5][G#5][A5]
[D#5]Cryptic [A5]messages [C5]written[A5]
[D#5]on the[A5] floor[C5]
[A5]Rats are nib[D#5]bling [E5]at my fe[Am]et,
I [A5]send one off to [Bb]nevermore[Em]
Too much dark[D5]ness,
[C]spiders [C5]on my ey[B]es

[Verse 2]
[G5]Webs [G]are hanging [F#m]from my thighs,
the [Em]fatter ones must die
I [D5]see shadows [C5]walking [C]straight and t[B]all[Bm]
[G]I don't know h[F#m]ow they move,
[B]dancing on the [G5]walls[B]
Presence of fear, a [C5]presence [C]so nea[Faug]r

[Verse 3]
I [D5]wonder what could [D#]be s[B]o
[Em]powerful beyond the dark
Human [G]bones... [F#m]in lit[Em]tle chambers
[G]all along [F#m]the narrow [D]hall[Em]s
Catacomb, [G]death over [F#m]life... [Em]Catacomb,
[G]am I [F#m]here t[D]o d[Em]ie?[E5][Bb]
I see [E5]a light, [Em]I push [C]some[B] bones[G] aside[D]

[Verse 4]
[F#]into the dark I go, [A5]an ot[F#m]her ch[F#]amber,[F]
[F#]a ch[C]amber with[G5] a glo[G#5]w[A5]
[D#]Could this [A5]be a do[Am]orwa[A5]y
[D#]to ano[A5]ther w[C5]orld?
[A5]Or d[D#5]arkness pl[A5]aying tr[Am]icks,
[A5]with my little mind?[Bb]
[Em]The virg[D5]in Mary [C]is standin[C5]g tall[B]

[Verse 5]
A [G]full size figure [F#m]carved in [F#]wood
[Em]up against the w[G]all
[Em]Her face is peel[D5]ing from
[C5]all the years gone by[B]
[G]Is it just [F#m]a statue,
[B]or is it what I'm looking for?
I break her face and see an
[C5]other [C]one in[C#5]stead

[Verse 6]
The [D5]mummy's face ap[D#]pears
as the [Em]bandages they fall
Dried [G#5]out fa[G5]ce wi[Em]th ha[E5]te
[G#5]upon m[G5]e gaze[B5][C5]
[G]How grot[D5]esque... [B5]the mummy[C]
[F]wears [D5]a crown of [B]thorns[F]
[G#5]From the e[G5]mpty s[Em]ocke[F]ts
[G#5]where its [G5]eyes should [B]be

[Verse 7]
[C]An ent[G]ity of [D5]light i[B]s pouring[C5]
[G]out to[Em]wards [E5]me
[A5]And then t[Bb]he sound... [A5]Jesus Christ,what have they
done to [G#5]you?[Bb5][Bb][Bb5][Bb][Bb5][Bb]
[Bb5][Bb]
[Em]I'm running for [D5]my li[C]fe,
I'm [C5]running [B]from the night
[G]But it'[G5]s so har[F#m]d to breathe,
the [Em]stench down here is much [G]too much

[Verse 8]
[Em]Satan help me, [D5]help [C]me God
[C5]Help me [B]anyone,
[G]anyone[F#m] who hears[B] my cry of fear[Bm][G][B]
Cold winds from [C5]far bey
[C]ond the [C#]dark[A]
[D5]Chasing through the [D#]catacomb and
[Em]breathing down my neck

[Verse 9]
Human [G]bones... [F#m]in lit[Em]tle chambers
[G]all along the [F#m]narrow [D]hall[Em]s
Catacomb, death [G]over [F#m]life... [Em]Catacomb,
