Cirith Gorgor - The Gates Of Hell lyrics

rate me

Shadows of the past fade before my eyes, <br />

There are evil voices in the air, <br />

I sense a presence in the darkness around, <br />

Pervading every sound and every shadow, <br />

The moon is full; the horned messenger<br />

That has guarded this world for aeons<br />

Yet now only beckons to those who still<br />

Bear strength in their hearts, <br />

The strength to fight, conquer and kill, <br />

The ones that have raped this earth<br />

For so many years, <br />

<br />

I am drawn towards the woods again, <br />

Where trees whisper of a storm to be awoken, <br />

Of powers that were asleep for many years, <br />

And a glorious past that was forgotten, <br />

It is true that many of us had grown ignorant and weak, <br />

Whilst the world around was slowly declining.<br />

Fools! Unaware of the infernal wrath<br />

That waits to be unleashed upon them, <br />

They fell to the liars' words and bowed<br />

Before the cross of the dead one.<br />

<br />

With my every thought the dark enhances thousandfold, <br />

When suddenly I emerge from the shadows into a clearing<br />

A gruesome silence in the light of the moon, <br />

The ground breathes pure evil, <br />

I know I have reached my destiny in this world.<br />

<br />

Four others I distinguish, <br />

Grim and pale faces with empty eyes, <br />

Now the pentagram is whole, words are spoken, <br />

And steel gleams in the dark.<br />

The roar of a thousand storms approaches, <br />

The earth trembles and the moon turns bloodred, <br />

As we cut our flesh in honour<br />

Of our forgotten Lord's return<br />

Demons start emerging from the abyss, <br />

The legions of hell are set free at last, <br />

As a vast black shadow leaves the gates now opened wide, <br />

Our mortal bodies lie scattered and dead.<br />

But we shall be reborn in His fire, <br />

And our deaths will not have been in vain, <br />

For our sacrifice will wrap this world in endless darkness, <br />

And tomorrow shall know the blackest dawn, <br />

For we have opened the Gates Of Hell, <br />

This will be the final holocaust of the human race.</
