Precarious Stair - Crystal Stilts

My sister and I descend

This darkening stair again

Find ourselves without breath

Twisting to the left

Beneath burning beaches

Below rivers of tears

From the Earth’s darkest reaches

Come Man’s deepest fears

And this is where

New torments are prepared

We sing as a distant pair

But our song is stifled by the viscous air

We cling to precarious stairs and

Descend deep into nefarious lairs

My sister and I descend

This darkening stair again

Find ourselves without breath

Twisting to the left

And this is where

New torments are prepared

We sing as a distant pair

But our song is stifled by the viscous air

We cling to precarious stairs and

Descend deep into nefarious lairs
