Old dreams return
Disillusioned I yearn
Am I buried beneath sand and clay?
The caress of cold soil
With limbs crippled to the coil
Locked inside a nightmare womb
Tarnished and grief stricken
Emptiness within a void
Longing for the sun to shine
To discourage the demonoid
Salvation!
Darkness reborn!
We seem to keep fading away
Holding on to that last final sway
A doctrine of self salvation
Darkness reborn on resurrection day
Stagnating in dead waters
While circling above the surface
Of the deep pale desert sea
Cutting that other life of lines
Salvation!
Wish we'd never met
Salvation!
And rather gone our seperate ways
Salvation!
All times spent together
Salvation!
Are the darkest of days
Salvation!
Darkness reborn!

What is the meaning behind Chess With The Abyss lyrics?
When we look deeper into its meaning, Dimmu Borgir's 'Chess with the Abyss' is an album which entails a very deep philosophical issue and the battle against one's own demons and despair. The metaphors used to characterize this struggle include 'nightmare womb' and 'dead waters' suggesting that the fight is going on between the one and his dark side and at the same time, the person is dreaming of being rescued. Almost the whole of the Chess with the abyss lyrics highlights despair, heartbreak, disillusion, solitude, and hopelessness. In the meantime, the piece of music is highlighting the same themes of disenchantment, sorrow, void, crying for salvation, and remorse. The song lyrics are full of topics like grief, darkness, and imprisonment which are more adult-oriented and may not be appropriate for children. The 'Salvation!' and 'Darkness reborn!' refrain hints at the battle of the mind and even the presence of sinister forces. The pictures and the words might not be very direct but they clearly show a state of despair and pain, which might need parental supervision for very young listeners. ✔️
