Lyrics Those Gates to Nothing - Ephel Duath

Those Gates to Nothing

As the wind loses his strength after a storm
I undress my will
I let the breath of life blow on me
I feel safe in the unknown
My aura spreads wide outward
Reaching those gates
I can’t bring myself to walk to
I tie my hair to a dead tree
With each knot I exhale discord
With each knot I inhale transparency
Until I’m left at peace
Staring at my reflection on the clouds running above
Thoughts filter through me
I purge out any trace of them
Claiming my own being
I refuse to blend in
And I accept to exist
I just exist
Like a dead leaf on water
I let currents decide directions
Like mold on a stone
I’ll live through anything that comes my way
The pulse behind any move
Is the electric fire life commands
I challenge my lungs to overcome the smoke
I’m still and centered like a stone
But my body keeps bursting into flames
And just when I will be ashes
It means I have fought back enough
I bring my heartbeat down to silence
I envision a white square
And its sides fading to nothing
I enter the realm of blankness
And feel my bones turning into dust
Air draws through me
Charcoal fumes take my place
Being nothing
I’m all I need to be
Being nothing
I’m all I’ve chosen to be
