Gatekeeper, Three Fold
Darkness feed thy hunger most ancient
Sensing the essence most sought three fold
Doomed are they who suffer banishment
Wretched misery a source of bloodlust
Gatekeeper grant me futile passage
Gatekeeper show me the way through the dark lands
The beast’s ever watchful eyes on the opposing shore
A surge of pain as subconscious is taken over
Ancient duty compels me forward
Falling to the summon of the feared one
Escape is an impossible feat
Three fold swift and three fold punishing
Pathetic cries only succeed to anger
Unknown realm guide me in my torment
Abysmal vastities engulf
Feeling the pain of the wretched
Wade through the river cursed
Such sorrow, such bereavement
Underworld visions of death and destruction bring forth the will to harness life
Hateful existence, survival compelling
The beast’s ever knowing sense on the opposing shore
Desensitization, numb to pain I’ve become once more
Mentally slipping in the face of swelling evil
Nubrious images invade my psyche
River, I involuntarily offer myself to thee
Slip away with tortured souls of yester year
Mentally slipping in the face of swelling evil
Nubrious images invade my psyche
Three fold swift, three fold punishing, three fold swift, three fold punishing
Three fold terror, three fold hatred, three fold vengeance,
Three fold torture, three fold fathomless, three fold fearless,
Three fold knowledge, three fold slaughter
Three fold swift, three fold punishing, three fold swift, three fold punishing
Confront me oh guardian
All fear shed in the river
Have at thee, great obstacle
My escape lies just beyond
Gatekeeper grant me return voyage
This I so boldly demand
Gatekeeper show me the way through the dark land
If conflict arises, so be it …
