I approach the gate, sense the cold, seductively unknown
The light is gone, the fear remains, the pain lingers on
When darkness greeets me there is no return
Once I’m there I belong to the soil
I leave you with your nightmares, where love and angst are one
Never will you see me, I’m forever gone
The entrance to salvation, so solid black and tall
I touch the gate, seemingly impenetrable
Silently I ponder why I have been drawn
I assemble all my agony and the obstacle is gone
The final benediction
The land of bliss and grace
Farewell to pain and agony
The terminal embrace
I hesitate for ages, afraid of the unknown
Before I slowly enter, relieved to be engulfed
Determined in my actions, though irreversible
The gates are slowly closing, with darkness I am one
When darkness greeets me there is no return
Once I’m there I belong to the soil
I leave you with your nightmares, where love and angst are one
Never will you see me, I’m forever gone
The final benediction
The land of bliss and grace
Farewell to pain and agony
The terminal embrace
