And so we meet here again, old friend - welcome back to your journey's end Here at the keep of all darkest nights - where the source of your sorrow lies All your nightmares - only worse - have become bitter truth for your infected mind And nothing could save you from torture and grind - slowly fading - from your world No more spring will thaw your frozen heart anymore - forever, forever, not anymore Uncertain stumbling through the haze - thousand eyes staring at your face A savage unintortured chase - don't expect any help from grace How that the gleam of your eyes went out - your frightened glance betrays rising doubt About what soon is to come for you - bad fate, you can rely onto Guardians of nightfall, lead me behind - the borders I'm loosing for the peace to find Never meant to be a sinner in religious ways - "why the hell no one hears my prayers" Portals of nightfall, open your front - and grand me entrance to the world beyond But please don't forsake my d**h - yearning soul -...I hear the demons of embers call Unbearable the burden gradual becomes - drags me down the maw, and deeper down below My corpse aglowed a long time ago yet - while pa**ing through the chambers of the dead There are no words to define all this dismay - nothing you have known is destined to remain When I made you inhale my toxic breath - for I am the everlasting d**h Portals of nightfall, open your front - and grand me entrance to the world beyond But please don't forsake my d**h - yearning soul -...I hear the demons of embers call Just take a look around you my son - and be aware of the shades to come Then you forget what the bible taught - consolation in rain be sought So this will be your true fate, old friend - welcome back to your journey's end Here all the keep of all darkest nights - where the source of your sorrow lies All your nightmares - only worse - have become bitter truth for your infected mind And nothing could save you from torture and grind - slowly fading - from your world No more spring will thaw your frozen heart anymore - forever, forever, not anymore
