lyrics

Do not fear what is beyond the gate
In the end, we all return to Death

Down we descend
This cavern never ends
The water smells of plague
And the stones have no age
Breaking my fall
A pile skeletal
I see it up ahead
The dwelling of the dead

And now we stand at the black gate
What lies beyond, it pains to contemplate
And so I send my prayers to the sky
But light can't penetrate where souls come to die

Travelling within
I must find my kin
It's too dark to see
My mind's in frenzy
What if I've been mislead?
What if I'm really dead?
It's all been a dream
At the end of the stream

And now we've entered the black gate
What lies within, a picture of our fate
And so I send my prayers to the sky
But light can't penetrate where souls come to die

We've traveled through dusk, and slept through the night
The lost buried hours, they fill us with fright
As fate shows a picture of a flickering candlelight
Now the rising dawn seeks a new student
What will you do?
