HELL´s GATE: "Dante’s Doom Mix" -Inferno Edition- (The Gate to Hell 2.0) ********** [Intro: spoken] „Abandon all hope, ye who enter here“ (Inscription at Hell's Gate: Dante Alighieri, Inferno, Canto III) [Verse 1] The rusted hinges scream, the gate swings wide There is no sanctuary, no place left to hide A wall of fire and sulfur, a choking cloud of smoke The world is trembling beneath fate’s cruelest joke From the abyss, the ancient darkness starts to rise Reflecting hollow terror in a thousand dying eyes The demons pour like oil, a tide of pure disdain While every drop of sunlight is washed away in rain. [Verse 2] But through the smog of war, the silver armor gleams A brotherhood of iron, fueled by warrior dreams They ignite the holy blades, a celestial embrace To meet the monsters head-on, and look death in the face High noon turns into midnight as the jagged steel collides There’s a harvest in the trenches where the reaper slowly strides The scent of copper rising, the sound of bone and blade This is the final stand, the debt that must be paid. [Pre-Chorus] The air is thick with the scent of fear The final hour is drawing near We raise our steel against the flood Prepared to pay the price in blood! [Chorus] The battle roars like thunder, the sky is turning black Into the jaws of madness, there is no turning back! Two worlds in violent friction, where souls and shadows meet We’re marching through the fire, we will not know defeat! The few who still are standing must hold this hallowed ground, Until the shadows break and the Gate to Hell is found! [Verse 3] There stands the Prince of Darkness, a statue made of cold A king of ancient malice, with a heart that’s never old His eyes are pits of embers, his breath a swarm of lies He feeds upon the silence as the last survivor dies But our blades ignite the ether, they cut the freezing air To strike the heart of shadow and leave him in despair A million sparks of vengeance, a storm of holy light To drive the master of the pit back into endless night. [Bridge] Drenched in blood and holy sweat, ignored are cries and pleas The warriors of the light will never fall upon their knees! The enemy is breaking now, the shadows start to crack We’re taking every inch of soul and every kingdom back! Hope is born in fire, the sleeping hearts awake To crush the iron scepter for the future’s very sake! [Chorus] The battle roars like thunder, the sky is turning black Into the jaws of madness, there is no turning back! Two worlds in violent friction, where souls and shadows meet We’re marching through the fire, we will not know defeat! The few who still are standing must hold this hallowed ground Until the shadows break and the Gate to Hell is found! [Outro] The iron gears grind, the portal falls Silence returns to these shattered walls One final strike through the heart of the beast From the weight of the shadow, we are released. The fire fades out, the sky turns grey We’ve driven the legions of darkness away. The gate is a ruin, the embers grow cold A story of steel that will never be told...
