This startling confusion of where I am Floating memories and images drifting I found myself beyond the stars Through time and space with darkness leading me Infinity and oblivion entwine There is no choice but one To forge ahead or to retreat The struggle has begun The ancient foe I vow to defeat The startling confusion of where I am I've journeyed long and here I stand Poised at the gate to eternity I'm on my own and I must proceed Infinity and oblivion entwine Screams of the dying mortals I can hear their screams Grim visions of the dead That I dream Embrace the cause that once united Break the walls that once divided Lose not the hope you once had The dream still lives and I will not fail At the threshold, one step to change To make a choice I promise that I will not fail Embrace the cause Break the walls Lose not the hope The dream still lives and I will not fail Into these dreams of darkness that unite our souls Into these dreams of sadness forever we'll go Forsaking the illusion that turns the flesh from stone Forsaking this illusion that binds us to the bone Weeping words are spoken, bespeak the misery Time has taken apart what's meant to be Hope has been shattered, the pieces that you see Words are shaping, this message I will read My choice has been made I shall return to dark This time I do not believe Death be mine, I can't betray I turn the key and lock the gate Close the door and seal my fate Take the road that leads me home Death be mine, I can't betray
