Lyric

Leave the world of mortals to walk into the mist to stalk unto the other side

Plains of otherness

The utter emptiness

Where time have ceased and dark and light collide

Crossing the river of death and water cold

Slowly walking up the bridge

The jewelled bridge I walk for what seems a lifetime

In the night it's jewels glow

There on the other side

On shore of no return

The one for me awaits

Cannot avoid the eyes

In which the fire burns

Comed this far it is too late

And He calls my name

First a whispering then louder

And he wants me to follow

And to Enter the Eternal Fire

I walk this endless night

His eyes the only light

Repeatedly he whispers my name

Fingers move and twist

Through crimson thick dark mist and voices cry of agony and pain

Close now to his kingdom

The bleak world dark and still

I follow the voice whispering my name

Approach the gate of sin

Opened up to let me in and there, He stand in flames

The price now I must pay for eternity my soul his claim

For years of pleasures, victory and gold

The one who stand in flames

Now rise and walk my way and reach out for my soul

And He calls my name

First a whispering then louder

And he wants me to follow

And to fall down. The Eternal Fire

I stand at the jaws of the pit

The heat scorch my flesh

The fall seem never to end

My hair burn

My eyes can't see

The flames slowly eat my soul

The pain tears my mind

Hear my cries oh Lord

Have mercy oh Lord

This can't be

Raging flames all over me

Inferno of heat

Oh no, oh no, oh noooooo, noooooo, noooooo

- It's already the end -
