Towards the Gate of Hercules Lyrics

"Across a Blackened Sea, we cart in flight
Towards the Gates of Hercules, ahead was night.
Such on its waters! Mirror-flat and not reflecting.
Aye! We sail blindly!
And the World's End followed behind.
Roaring, splitting, breaking, devouring hope
Extinguishing light
For aw! What treasure we stole!
Rainbow gems, prison stones, stardust, diamond white.
That deed cries equal sacrifice
Nothing less than a naked life!
Sat down a pitch's everlasting night
where once bold heroes solemnly slept:
Egyptian, Roman, Carthaginian, Greek!
Away with the riches! Off and over board!
The bait of greed
For this death is not the fate we seek.
As I look up in agony; no sky I see!
But high in ropes, with a ghostly glow
Fire blooms!
That's when I know
Another knot, another length
The Gate has been passed.
Elmsfire have come... at last."
