Iron Gates Lyrics

Enter the sunless region of earth
Captors of torment await
The river of hate lies deep down below
Cross it, reveal your fate
Feel the gaze of Hades upon you
Life beginning to fade
Condemned to iron gates of perdition
Oppressors are hidden in shade

Distant cries of former existence
Phantoms fallen to black
Vile tongues will carry a coin
To pay to enter the realm

Night begins to sweep across Tartarus
Hidden deep in the world
Lifeless vessels wander the plains
They dwell in the blackest abyss
I witness your death
As you fall to me from the living
Clutching to life
Your futile struggle begins
My underworld fires burn brighter
Than ever before
Becoming my slave now you will fall

Enter the iron gates

Vicious eyes light up like fire
Souls descend from the funeral pyre
Writhe with anguish
As you reach the gates
There's no escape from your impending fate
I witness you death
Clutching to life
My underworld fires
Becoming my slave

Visions from the afterlife
Beckon at your soul
Creatures guard the iron gates
That Hades calls his home
Summoned to the fields of death
Your life belongs to him
Manipulation of the dead
He tears them limb from limb
