Beyond the gates of slumber
Beyond the world we know
There is an ancient kingdom
In nights dominion
By mankind forgotten
But still our legends tell
Of wonderworlds awating
The righteous after death
But this our world we live in
Ain't nothing but a dream
And in death the gates are opened
To the dark oblivion
But our death must be chosen
Or we will only be reborn
To live on earth forever
In endless cycles of death and birth
Beyond the gates of slumber
Beyond our waking world
The passage to eternity
Your chosen death will show
Awake in the boundless glory
Of death's eternal might
While the scums of earth are bleeding
I rejoice in the endless night
I approach the gate
Opened wide to greet
A lost soul
On a final journey back home
