lyrics

There are Seven Gates where eternal dawn rests
Seven majestic Portals with strange symbols carved,
Seven Paths to dimensions of the powers unseen
Locked until the seven keys shall be forged.

Seven guardians, one of a tremendous might
Flow in whirlwinds near Portals of cold stones grey,
To their fate by Supreme Will forever sealed.

One of them by a mortal female was born,
Laid his life on the altar of knowledge and might,
Took the tremendous challenge, and won...

But the prize he desired was the most bitter fruit:
Once warm flesh had been swept off and fed to decay,
His unspeakable might turned to be like a chain
And the spirit to strange armour's dressed.

Eons passed just like the shades of the faraway clouds,
Silent standing at the gates - should it e'er change,
But beware, for someone is bringing the keys,
And the guardians should now the Seven Gates unlock.

Evil face, bright yellow glowing eyes,
This one gives each Guardian a key of his Gate,
And the seventh one is amazed, he's in anger and awe
As he meets his old foe... But he's taken the key.

From the First Gate there came forth Winter with frost,
From the Second - its rival, Spring came,
From the Third mature Summer breathed air into face,
From the Fourth watch the yellow leaves fly.

From the Fifth Gate divine light turned dawn into day,
From the Sixth - emanated the gloom of mortality
Now it's your turn, Gatekeeper the Seventh,
Complete your chosen fate...
