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 death – 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 passing 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 death
Portals of nightfall, open your front – and grand me entrance to the world beyond
But please don't forsake my death – 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
