At The Gates 06:02
Across all time, on the edge of tomorrow Death came to call, show no sorrow Reaper in black, take me away from here Lead me now, the journey holds no fear Shut my eyes, and open to clarity Before me stands, the Gates of Eternity (Chorus) Keepers of soul, and strange memory, At the Gates! Resistant to time, Immortal Sentries, At the Gates! Sinners to hell, eternal misery, At the Gates! Martyrs and saints, holy delivery, At the Gates! (End Chorus) The gates hang closed, perfect asymmetry, The guardians wait, pass judgement on me, Hell's minion in black, fire eyes burn through, Finger points at me, in my heart I knew, Figure of white, follower of heavens light, Flame in the dark, warrior against the night, Visions of life, dance before my eyes, Recalling who I was, before I died, For good and bad, some happy some sad, Final judgement, on the life I had, (Chorus) As I reflect, on a life of memories, I see the truth, offered to me, The gates swing shut as I enter eternity!
2.
Don't be fooled by your wanton desires, For I have bathed in your funeral pyres, Once I was not but a young man, Memories lost to the shifting sands, Of time! Of Time!!! Take my hand and follow, To the caverns below, Beneath the hollow shell, The river of death must flow. (Chorus) Rivers of twilight, Dance through my mind, Denied man's gift, I'm left behind, Tortured by loneliness, driven insane, No chance that I'll have peace again. (End Chorus) Bargain struck the deal has been made, Price is set to live beyond the grave, Is it worth it to gain immortality, Life without death, man's greatest fallacy, Always seek to live beyond your means, Was your life not as good as it seemed? You will dwell in the hell that you built, Forced to live with your fears and your guilt, Watch your loved ones wither and die, Taken to heaven to be buried, In the sky! In The Sky!!! Take my hand and follow, To the caverns below, Beneath the hollow shell, The river of death must flow. (Chorus)
3.
Devil's wrath incarnate, Angels cry in fear, Crimson walls please the beast, Smell of iron fills the air. Flames of anger fill his eyes, The beast has come to play, His blood lust to be sated, No fear of judgement day. (Chorus) He's the demon of deception, His world made of lies, He's the demon of deception, Existence despised. (End Chorus) Armed with blade in hand, A hateful heart of stone, Driven to execute the plan, Sees her sleeping all alone. Sadist in the darkness, Unholy ‘witching hour’, Cursed forever with Cain’s mark, Of murder, greed and power. (Chorus) Ripped too soon from this world, Justice cannot bring her back, How long will the truth lay Hidden, suppressed by shroud of black?

Candeloro 02:25
(Instrumental)
5.
Adrift in silence, This cannot be, Your slumber is over, Wake up from the dream, Freedom, let it go! You live on inside us, Your love made it so (Chorus) Guardian Angel, Guardian Angel (End Chorus) (Chorus) Light against darkness, Pain is just a spark, Though you aren't beside us, We aren't so far apart, Soft wings, in the night! Safe against the blackness, Protected by your light (Chorus)
6.
No one knows this mountain I delve, At home in the darkness of dreams, My king and my country lie dead in the stone, I'm alone, no one to share my home. (Chorus) They took no prisoners, A dark genocide, Don't try to run, There's nowhere to hide, At home in the dark (End Chorus) Deep into caverns I'm crawling in fear, Can't outrun dark thoughts on my mind, Stumbling in shadows what I don't seek I always find, I'm alone no safe haven here. Dark shadows lay fog on my mind, Running blind I can't escape that dreadful time (Chorus) No one's here to share in my crime, So much blood can never wash away, Tortured by visions, the knife in my hands, No one is here, no one could understand
7.
Born Under the sign of metal, In the northern land of frost, Fists high we march for glory, Victory at all costs We've flown over mountains, On a silver steed we'd ride, Forever and on for metal, We are here to turn the tide (Chorus) Crowned in Iron, Knighted in Steel, The path we take the legions shall reveal, I've seen the future, the answers in the past, Metal built this kingdom and this kingdoms gunna last! This Kingdoms gunna last! (End Chorus) Bound by blood and metal, Warriors to the core, On a quest for victory, To bring the fools to war Raised in the ways of old, A mind kissed by melody, Glimpse in the past in wonder, Behold a timeless memory (Chorus) Wade through untold battlefields, Blood spilled to light the flame, Life's breath unto cause, Raise metal up again Wandering far and wide, Gather soldiers to the flag, Stand tall and fast my brothers. Tonight we storm the gates
8.
Feel the fury of mankind's demise When ages change and stars align Secrets buried by the ancient sands Who can say what mysteries Are carried by those who cannot speak Locked inside strange symmetries A line to match the sun (Chorus) Hark, Requiem, of man Fate sealed with blood! Serpent hold The key, to the sun (End Chorus) Time will tell the fate of man, Whispered by the shifting wind Ten thousand years have come and passed lore vanished from our mind Great pyramid, the golden eye, Eternal watch, from place up high, Life you give, and life you take, Cast up your light, on man's mistake. A monument of ancient means, Weathered through the histories, Riddler of the barren land, Neither lion nor a man (Chorus) Waiting wrapped in solitude, Wishing away the twilight hours, For your day to come at last, To bath eternal sun When lions heart, meets twin above, By suns light, all will be undone. In coming days, the cycle ends, And the wheel, will roll on again.
9.
I have seen the sands of time, they are running out, I have crossed the valley of the shadow of death, I have seen the fires, in hell they glow, I have witnessed humanity, insane they grow. I've had my life, my choices, my path, Now will I face his eternal wrath? As I walk through the gates, peace takes over my mind, Here I will dwell till the end of all time.
