The Gates

The Gates - Opera Diabolicus

Value the words in my dark tale

I speak 'bout the countess of hell

With weight of guilt i bear my cross

Save me, my lord, if you can

My strength is weak and my conscience dim

Hear this plea from a troubled and afflicted soul

I light a candle with a wish for deaht as it slowly burns

When the moonlight reaches your window she sweeps out from the dark

She moves near, smooth as a cat

Her ember eyes locked on sight

Come to me, let's get lost in the twilght

Seems so long since i saw you, my dear

Dream away. come take my hand

The madam lures you into her service with words sweeter than wine

She'll pretend, fill you head up with lies then slowly slash you apart

Oh, precious life giving blood

\"What lurks in the darkness?\"

You will know she betrayed you from fortune once you've entered her realm

Magical moments - where is the logic that rhymes?

I'll offer my heart and soul to be by your side

Magical moments - is the truth always stronger than lies?

This cannot be happening. i'm losing my mind

Nunc anima mea turbata est

Pater, salvifica me ex hora hac

Et a peccato meo munda me

Domine, salus mea

I saw peasant girls pass the gate. one by one they walked into hell

Like sheep brought to the slaughter. never to returnTime.

I curse thee time, oh time.

The mirror speaks the truth

Dripping with new spilt blood she thought she'd found a way

The secret of eternal youth, for beauty to go by her name

Wash away all my sorrow, preserve me just the way i am

Embraced by morning but the anguish linger on

This torment does not seem to find

Infernal madness, her method for pleasure

There's no reflection at all

Oh, precious blood fills the halls. \"that dreadful aptitude\"

She'll make you bleed, tear your flesh into pieces or tie you upon a stake

Magical moments - here is the logic that rhymes?

I opened the gates to hell to rule by your side

Magical moments - see my skin getting smoother tonight

Can this be happening? now lick her skin clean

Deep in my heart, deep in my soul

Hear the voice begin to speak

Forever dead, forever free

And forever belongs to me

Deep in my heart, deep in my soul

Hear the voice begin to speak

Forever dead, forever free

And forever belongs to me

Forever belongs to me

Forever belongs to me
