[Lyric] At the Temple Doors (Obsidian Sea)

Release me from the load I bear....
Deliver me before the altar flame....
The unrelenting chants have brought me
To the temple doors
The world above I'll witness nevermore!

The pieces of my iron will
Lie scattered in my grave below the waves
I hear the call of destiny, now glory waits for me
I take thе faithful step
And I am free...

Like a mystic ship of gold
From the farthеst shore of night
Rose the temple, and its lights
They called

By unearthly voices lured
Ancient wonders I beheld
Dreams of madness took my soul
Away
I hear the songs of fallen gods
Chanting their forbidden names
Severance of reason's bonds
Step beyond reality

I alone - the worthy one
Final duties I complete
The temple windows are aglow
Now they beckon me!

I thread the abyssal plains
Halls of splendor await me there
Lift the veil of ageless death
Lay your mysteries 'fore my eyes

Overhead - the fatal waves
Lays oblivion on my name
While around me spirits rave:
"Open up the gates"!
