lyrics

The Gate Keeper

For every face in dismay
For every mind we make break
For all I lose on my way
All paths lead to this place

It returns in patterns drenched on a floor
It shows it's teeth at me from behind every door
My remains are greyer in all that reflects
I hold my own but am alone in this marble room

I speak to you of this empty route
A place you left yet never saw
I close my eyes in hope to find
A dying dream of a world we lead

I'am the gate keeper
I'am the one who holds the flame
Within an arch of earth and ruins
Under a sky mauve and aware

And I will halt and stare
A wretched statue in glare
Waiting for all to leave
And waiting for you to arrive

To stand in front of my life
To pass the stone at sunrise
Flesh and bone ensemble on me
This mind is raising but bones shall break

REVENGE
ABSOLUTION
THE RAIN
OVER BERGEN
SAFE
ANOTHER YEAR
HATE
INSANE

It returns in patterns drenched on a floor
It shows it's teeth at me from behind every door
My remains are greyer in all that reflects
I hold my own but am alone in this marble room

I speak to you of this empty route
A place you left yet never saw
I close my eyes in hope to find
A dying dream of a world we lead

I'am the gate keeper
Your stone is still here
(Under the arch
I stand as the moon is large)
