The gates await through the veil, the dark beyond has come at last
Within the shadows a specter calls, he beckons forth the endless dead
The gatekeeper judges the damned, his black wings curl, unfurl his law
Rohesia, the old witch crone, before the void, four decades past
The black soul keeper turns his great hood forth, his eye extends to meet her gaze
“Please! I beg of you, take this life i’ve paid the price, my soul, my soul, just let me rest!”
With a great black claw he gathers forth, her broken, sunken frame, plucks the girl from her shattered shell, the abyss rises to greet her
Eyelids open, head still spinning, earth beneath her, soft and warming
Blue light flicker, dew drop morning, life restored to wander freely
Within the shadows a specter calls, he beckons forth the endless dead
The gatekeeper judges the damned, his black wings curl, unfurl his law
Rohesia, the old witch crone, before the void, four decades past
The black soul keeper turns his great hood forth, his eye extends to meet her gaze
“Please! I beg of you, take this life i’ve paid the price, my soul, my soul, just let me rest!”
With a great black claw he gathers forth, her broken, sunken frame, plucks the girl from her shattered shell, the abyss rises to greet her
Eyelids open, head still spinning, earth beneath her, soft and warming
Blue light flicker, dew drop morning, life restored to wander freely
