1. GATES OF MOUNTAINS (CHAPT. I)

Time is motionless
A crossing of dimensions
On the place of waiting!

Darkness close upon this world
Helplessness fills our souls

The gates of mountains open...

Death rules now
On the place of insanity
Damned shall be the gods!!!

The light of the gates get deep
Through the night, our souls will be
Filled with power, but it seems
To be pushed on through a dark might

From a daemon!

Covered with hatred by eternity of the gates!!
Destruction! In this night!
Putrefaction! The scent's blowing through the forest!
Death, Death, Death
And the gates open!


2. THE FINAL DARKENING

Wintermoon so cold and dim
Mourning for your soul, which freezed to death
Dewdrops wet your spirit
Embraced by the eternal silence.

Rising out of the shadows
A child of darkness
Lamented you ascend in the sky
Opalescent in brightness of suffering.

Where are the nights, which once so clear
Where is the shine, which once so bright
Absorbed in tears of oblivion
Joined in eternity.

Fight and death, squirting blood
Pulsated flow it into the flood.

Your reflection, it looks so sad
Night by night on quietness of the water
No winds, no clouds are touching you
Lost are space and time.

Fog's weaving a grayish robe
Bared are the forest and mountain
Dreams you carry off far away
With hopeless for your awake.

Where are the nights, which once so clear
Where is the shine, which once so bright
Absorbed in tears of oblivion
Joined in eternity.

Pain and suffer, burning like fire
Kindled through infinite mourning.

And the last ember emits
Like a flash of jerking gold
A glitter, a glow
It is accomplished!

The final darkening.


3. IN THE LAND OF BLACK SUN (CHPT. II)

(Instrumental)


4. IN SEARCH OF THE MIDNIGHT LAKE

So I ramble across gloomy forests
Along black lakes
In dark caves
Always in search of the midnight lake

The ice is near
I have to break through it
Then the sun is dead
And my heart inflamed

Endless melodies accompany me
On my way
Across the wilderness of my dreams
Abruptly all twins

Senseless looks I waste on the underworld
Then it can't help me
The search goes on
The search of the midnight lake


5. ESCAPE FROM THE LIGHT

Darkness
Conceals many shadows
The shadows of the evil

In league with eternity only
Let you go away
Walking in the remoteness
The light you leave behind

Only death can fill your soul
Escape from the light
Insanity possesses your mind

Go to the darkness

Escape from the light


6. THE MIST BEYONF THE FIR FOREST

(Instrumental)


7. PORTAL ZUR EWIGKEIT

Zerstörender Wahn in Deinem Geist
Verwitterung in Deiner Seele

Nun nimm das Portal zur Ewigkeit

Leere in Deinem Kopf
Hass in Deinen Gedanken

Nun nimm das Portal zur Ewigkeit

Verlorenheit am Anfang
Erfüllung nach dem Tod

Hass
Tod, Tod, Tod

Du hast es vollbracht

Mittendrin im Portal zur Ewigkeit
gehst Du zur anderen Seite der Zeit

Deine Seele gefüllt mit Bösem
nun ein Dämon der Ewigkeit


8. GOLDEN ECLIPSE

(Instrumental)


9. IN STILLER TRAUER

The time has come, like a candle
Which's extinguished,
Is your soul doomed to the end

Leaves are falling down, the trees
Will be bare, all things around you
Are dying and you with them

Wenn die Sterne vom Himmel fallen
In stiller trauer
Dann ist es Zeit für die Ewigkeit
In stiller trauer
