Beware if you tread the paths of the other side It has become eternal stone What once was flesh and bone To guard this fortress dark With a stone cold heart Atop the towers highest peaks Part of the wall the carved beasts Forever silent untiring guards Lurking with their stone cold hearts Years and years creep by in this silent eternity, Endless halls and passages walked by the dead alone And in the heat heart of the darkness I sit in silent communion with the beast cast in stone Silence falls, eternal night, a fortress dark in the pale moonlight And the banshees howl of my unkind fate It has become eternal stone What once was flesh and bone To guard this fortress dark With a stone cold heart Atop the towers highest peaks Part of the wall the carved beasts Forever silent untiring guards Lurking with their stone cold hearts In a fortress dark Legend of the dark fortress Beware if you tread the paths of the other side
