Fire and ashes covering everything That was seen by my eyes once Song of fire flies far In an endless forst The picture of a memory Holds back ages and forgetting But it guards the ancient empire Heights as a gate And defends of entering The black gate Where those may enter Who belong there A gate that defends Of all life A gate of darkness and d**h A place to rest A gate that defends Of all light That may burn us A darkness infinite A pain infinite Eternity That doesn't let us die A real world Lived by not many Black gate Thou art locked before me I am screaming in the night With the dark purity of my soul And my immortal words The call of another word Opens up The memory of another age Calls again... And the black gate locks Behind me... To return to A forgotten age and place...
