lyrics

However aimless may my ramblings be
It seems as if I always make a turn or two
To find me standing in this square eventually:
No matter how many times I come
This place is always full of wicked dread to me
The lifeless no man's land enshrouded in gloom,
The pavements of uneven prism-like slabs
And in the middle of the square there is
A high stepped dais whereupon th' immense
Bronze gate detached from any wall
Is towering irradiating dreariness

Two people wander here to and fro,
With their arms drawn
Long chains are running from the gate
To their belts, although
These sentries came here on their own
And would not go
Their living breath is consecrating this grim place
Forevermore

And though one easily can walk around this Gate
The sentries still believe they're th' only ones
Who stand between the realm of men
And the tremendous distress lurking out there -
Behind the heavy decorated leaves.
And their restless and exhausting vigilance
Prevents these horrors from emerging... Or perhaps
It is a ransom to some twisted myths,
So they remain delusions those they are,
However slithering their way to sentries' hearts
To feed and revel on their soulblood...

Two people wander here to and fro,
With their arms drawn,
Enchained for years to the gate,
Yet there's a stronger bond:
These sentries came here on their own
And would not go
Their living breath is consecrating this grim place
Forevermore

And if the Gate is opened one day,
With that Abyss a-swirl before their eyes
They'll gaze into it, knowing all too well,
That the Abyss is gazing back into themselves.
