Lyrics:

And so we meet here again, old friend - welcome back to your journey's end
Here at the keep of all darkest nights - where the source of your sorrow lies

All your nightmares - only worse - have become bitter truth for your infected mind
And nothing could save you from torture and grind - slowly fading - from your world
No more spring will thaw your frozen heart anymore - forever, forever, not anymore

Uncertain stumbling through the haze - thousand eyes staring at your face
A savage unintortured chase - don't expect any help from grace
How that the gleam of your eyes went out - your frightened glance betrays rising doubt
About what soon is to come for you - bad fate, you can rely onto

Guardians of nightfall, lead me behind - the borders I'm losing for the peace to find
Never meant to be a sinner in religious ways - 'why the hell no one hears my prayers'
Portals of nightfall, open your front - and grand me entrance to the world beyond
But please don't forsake my death - yearning soul -...I hear the demons of embers call

Unbearable the burden gradual becomes - drags me down the maw, and deeper down below
My corpse aglowed a long time ago yet - while passing through the chambers of the dead
There are no words to define all this dismay - nothing you have known is destined to remain
When I made you inhale my toxic breath - for I am the everlasting death

Portals of nightfall, open your front - and grand me entrance to the world beyond
But please don't forsake my death - yearning soul -...I hear the demons of embers call

Just take a look around you my son - and be aware of the shades to come
Then you forget what the bible taught - consolation in rain be sought
So this will be your true fate, old friend - welcome back to your journey's end
Here all the keep of all darkest nights - where the source of your sorrow lies

All your nightmares - only worse - have become bitter truth for your infected mind
And nothing could save you from torture and grind - slowly fading - from your world
No more spring will thaw your frozen heart anymore - forever, forever, not anymore
