Lyrics The Forbidden Gates Beyond - Black September

The Forbidden Gates Beyond

Fortify for war at days final light
Realms of death await
Feed into the silence
Behold the beast
Death is little more
My ascension denied
He shall feed on wisdom and valor
Through me is the way into the suffering city
Claims of second death
Through me the way into eternal grief
Enclosed by flame search for sacred light
Amid legions of blood and tear streamed faces
The dark earth convulsed
We moved to the gates beyond
Out of the quiet
Into the trembling air
I have come to a place absent of light
An icon of cruelty and guilt at the gate
And in such a moment destruction was sewn
Ravenous thunder beckons our pace as we descend
Accursed wolf feast upon yourself with rabid hunger
Hymns of despair deep in their throats
The eternal fire in the valley below stains the city walls
Fortify for war at days final light
Realms of death await
Feed into the silence
