The Forbidden Gates Beyond

Fortify for war at days final light Realms of death await Feed into the silence Behold the beast Death is little more My ascension denied He shall feed on wisdom and valor Through me is the way into the suffering city Claims of second death Through me the way into eternal grief Enclosed by flame search for sacred light Amid legions of blood and tear streamed faces The dark earth convulsed We moved to the gates beyond Out of the quiet Into the trembling air I have come to a place absent of light An icon of cruelty and guilt at the gate And in such a moment destruction was sewn Ravenous thunder beckons our pace as we descend Accursed wolf feast upon yourself with rabid hunger Hymns of despair deep in their throats The eternal fire in the valley below stains the city walls Fortify for war at days final light Realms of death await Feed into the silence

A voice thundered in the distance The abyss below held a swarm of serpents and men Men of blood and anger Bound by creatures of misery and venom Blasphemous rage erupted toward the heavens above A serpent assault enclosed the life Creation of chaos Rebirth as a beast of man Wound upon wound Shadow suppressed Creation of chaos Rebirth as a beast of man A remade serpent of sin returns to the vile mass Binding the human form Encased by darkness and flame A feral soul hissing in the thriving legion Bound to the mass of pain Confined in the surging horde Buried but breathing A serpent assault enclosed the life Creation of chaos Rebirth as a beast of man Wound upon wound Shadow suppressed Creation of chaos Rebirth as a beast of man

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

The abyss poured off the upper rim of the high bank Down to a river of blood The infamy gnawed his own flesh The foul depth shook The world has been steered back to chaos What torment has brought you to this vile land His own blood an instrument of vengeance Drenched in blood and plunder Lend us one who can tame our passage To the forest of poison thorns One who fears naught cruelty and death Pass to the edge of the unknown Come now death Come at once I prepare my final passage The end is near Come now death Come at once Descending into black air The end is near Lend us one who can tame our passage to the forest of poison thorns What torment has brought you to this vile land His own blood an instrument of vengeance Numbers drenched in the vast ditch These were tyrants who spent their lives drenched in blood and plunder Lend us one who can tame our passage to the forest of poison thorns One who fears naught cruelty and death Pass to the edge of the unknown Come now death Come at once I prepare my final passage The end is near Come now death Come at once Descending into black air The end is near

Crashing forth upon the soil Filthy waves gave way to open plains Immense flakes of fire and ash settled like snow on a windless terrain Desolation swallows us whole Tombs lit by single flames At least you stand alone Reveal my path A luminous eye sees all Tombs lit by single flames Our knowledge is dead Our awareness will exist no more once these graves are sealed The true way is unseen in these shrouds of black Mark my words a single finger raised to the sky A shade rose from the depths with a bellow of fear This blind prison leads astray The future is sealed At least you stand alone Reveal my path Luminous eyes see all Tombs lit by single flames A stench too impure to inhale came from beyond the valley summoning our course The knowledge is dead Our awareness will exist no more once these graves are sealed

Eyes ahead through the bite of the frozen wind A tower of form shown through the mist A triple crowned wing of six pours forth blood fire and death A malicious serpent piercing the world The banners of the king of hell advance Awaken the behemoth with shrieks of hell fire The time has come Ride the wings of death through the flaming world Take the banner on high Ride the wings of death through the flaming world We march with no return Take the banner on high We march with no return Born in fire Primal breath Banished guide to the cliffs beyond External exile We march with no return Fumes from the river hover overhead like vast shadows Birds of prey guard the shores Primal breath fills my lungs Ride the wings of death through the flaming world Take the banner on high Ride the wings of death through the flaming world We march with no return Born in fire Primal breath Banished guide to the cliffs beyond Born in fire Banished guide External exile We march with no return

The dark holds me without sight A demigod among flesh I summon thee with a tongue of flame For my return release these chains Bearer of deprived light Nothing sacred in this skin Terror in the flesh Disdain your penance In slumber I dwell awaiting return Release me from this tomb I summon thee with a tongue of flames For my return release these chains Hear my cry unleash these chains I shall be the last to remain In slumber I dwell awaiting return Release me from this tomb I will reclaim what once was ours Your empire is doomed Eye for an eye I shall bring ruination Eye for an eye I shall bring ruination
