1. WELCOME TO THE BORDERLAND

I'm here
Yet I see
To the other side

I know things
No-one does
They are but mine

Not here
Or there
I'm on the borderland

It's more than a place
It's a state of mind

Come walk with me
I'll show you around
Strange as it seems
Garden to the left

Alone with my thoughts I am
Someone would say
For far too long

Now I'll show you to the pit
It's here under my house (mind)

At night strange creatures loom
They climb from here into my head

Welcome to the borderland
Nighttime is full of action

We see things we should not see
We hear things we should not hear

Welcome to the borderland
Welcome to the borderland

We fear things that are not there
Or maybe they are, who the fuck's to say?

Welcome to the borderland
Welcome to the borderland


2. OPEN THE GATE

You hear the chant
Aimlessly follow
To where we await
Time is drawing near

We need sacrifice
To open the gate
Your flesh will do
Father shall awake

Children of the mountain
In their sacred grove
Practice ancient magic
To wake up their god
Sacrifice the young ones
There they lie subdued
Raped upon the altar
Of the mountain god

Beyond the gate
Father is screaming
He must be set free
Bring us holy power

We will succeed
Where others have failed
Bring back to life
The horror beneath this mountain

Children of the mountain
In their sacred grove
Practice ancient magic
To wake up the god
Sacrifice the young one
There she lies subdued
Raped upon the altar
Of the mountain god

Hidden one will rise
In dreams and thoughts

Hidden one will grow
Through flesh and blood

(It) Fills up my dreams


3. LEAVING THE BODY

Helpless, drifting in space
For the lifetime of many men
I seem to have arrived
To the shores of some kind of sea

Enchanted place like in my dreams
The colours take a different shape
Here I wait and something tells me
That it's worth my time


4. THE SEA OF SLEEP

(Instrumental)


5. THE SIGN OF DEATH

The sign of death is on me
I have nowhere to run
They came to me last night
Beings so fearsome I cried
Demons they are a nightmare
Alone I stood there petrified
They are here for my life
There is no doubt in my mind
It will be useless to fight
When they return tonight

The sign of death is on me
I have nowhere to run
The sign of death is on me
I have nowhere to run

And when the night approaches
The sign it glows in the dark
I know I have been chosen
On me the devil's mark
