The Two Gates |
| Forever of the Stars: |
| And so it’s come to this: Two Gates, two portals await |
| Let your choice be guided by collective wisdom |
| Mmm, hath the prospect of freedom ever tasted so good? |
| One gate completes the circle; |
| one step away from your own |
| Dimension, your cherished time. |
| One gate severs all connections; |
| One step away from the dreamworld of everlasting ebony |
| You call it Oblivion. |
| It is a brave soul who makes the first choice |
| BARBARIAN: |
| Behold these gates, the first one plain and old |
| Behold these gates, the second forged of gold |
| The gate of old spells out disgrace and shame |
| The one of gold cries out my noble name |
| I challenge death to meet me at this gate! |
| I challenge Odin to pronounce my fate! |
| And if I thrive I’ve overcome this land |
| But if I fail I’ll die a worthy man |
| ROMAN: Open the gate, we’re now on our own |
| ALL: Enter the gate to your destiny! |
| ROMAN: Will it be fortune or fate, the truth shall be known |
| ALL: Enter the gate to your destiny! |
| BARBARIAN: |
| Cowards whine beyond the olden gate |
| Valhalla shines beyond the golden gate |
| I walk alone so dare not follow me |
| But choose your own and die in agony! |
| ROMAN: Open the gate, we’re now on our own |
| ALL: Enter the gate to your destiny! |
| ROMAN: Will it be fortune or fate, the truth shall be known |
| ALL: Enter the gate to your destiny! |
| BARBARIAN: |
| What evil place might this be? |
| Why are the heavens so black? |
| Eternity threatens, darkness crashes down upon me! |
| Ohh! |
| Like a big black bat of death smothers my senses! |
| Makes me lose my sense of time! |
| This cannot be a dream! |
| I need to be wide awake! |
| Wide awake! |
| When the Valkyries come to take me! |
| To my place among the warriors, to my place by Odin’s side! |
| Ahhhh! |
| KNIGHT: |
| We have been saved, our journey has ended! |
| But tell us why, why this ordeal? |
| What was your aim, or was it just some game? |
| Have we been humbled, or did we prevail? |
| We’ve been enslaved, our wounds have not mended! |
| And who are you, what magicians or gods? |
| What was your plan, we don’t understand! |
| Did we pass, or did we fail? |
| ROMAN: Open the gate, we’re now on our own |
| ALL: Enter the gate to your destiny! |
| ROMAN: Will it be fortune or fate, the truth shall be known |
| ALL: Enter the gate to your destiny! |
