"Darkness Visible" Lyrics

There to dwell
In adamantine chains and penal fire
Who does defy the omnipotent to arms

Nine times the space that measures day and night
Rolling in the fiery gulf
Confounded though immortal
but his doom reserved him to more wrath

for now the thought
Both of lost happiness and lasting pain
Torments him

Around he throws his baleful eyes
That witnessed huge affliction and dismay

Mixed with obdurate pride and steadfast hate
At once as far as angels kin he views
The dismal situation waste and wild
A dungeon horrible

on all sides 'round
Regions of sorrow
doleful shades
where peace and rest can never dwell

hope never comes that comes to all
but torture without end still urges

As one great furnace flamed
yet from those flames no light
but rather, darkness visible
