At The Gates - Mortillery

A soul breaks free from a corpse

The journey begins to the end of the earth

A realm invisible in human form

A greedy god’s kingdom of the dead

A dying wish of coins on lips

To pay the fair or forever be trapped between worlds

Spirits of the dead

Passing one way to the underworld

Acheron river of pain

Cocytus river of lamentation

Phlegethon river of fire

Styx river of hatred

Lethe river of oblivion

Alone he stands at the gates

Watching ferryman drifting in

He who enters cannot escape

A thirst for souls from flesh stripping heads

Kneel and be judged;

eternal fate

Frozen in time skeletons roams weightless

The living shall not enter here

He sees the past, present and future
