Turned my heart into blazing fire What have I done? Unleashed my horror so dire What have I done? Turned my heart into blazing fire What have I done? Unleashed my horror so dire I must find the path Leading to freedom I must find out Where I am I must find the truth About all this I wonder around so lost, so torn My spirit lies still So forlorn The rage has now gone away Has sent me mercilessly astray My eyes turn dark red As the blood of those Iīve killed I roam around silenced By the mad souls trapped in my head What have I done? Turned my heart into blazing fire What have I done? Unleashed my horror so dire What have I done? Turned my heart into blazing fire What have I done? Unleashed my horror so dire What have I done? Turned my heart into blazing fire What have I done? Unleashed my horror so dire What have I done? Turned my heart into blazing fire What have I done? Unleashed my horror so dire 04 - Sacred Gates With the blood of the beast in my veins and the curse of it's kind in my heart. Running along the road from days of yore, Trying to hide from the one I was. Behind me, an awful sound getting closer: A neigh followed by a chilling laughter. The Ice Maiden was back for my head and her Flaming Horse was hungry for my bowels. A fortress of stone and darkness rises in front of my tired soul. As the beast in me stands up and tries to fight, fangs and claws meet frost and flame. A black sun shines it's evil lights upon profaned land beneath. [This Hell] As the battle roars endlessly, Time stands still watching with it's solemn eyes. As the day turns to night, as the end meets my fight, A long path shows that all is gloom leading me into the castle of doom. As the day turns to night, as the end meets my fight, a long path shows that all is gloom leading me into the castle of doom. Wounded and desperate, I fall on my knees. The blood gushing from my flesh, the Maiden killing my dreams. [killing my dreams] [killing my dreams] [killing my dreams] [killing my dreams] Now between me and my destiny, she stands mocking me, laughing fiendishly, But I went too far to give in. [Went to far] [To give in] [Went to far] [To give in] In a last attempt I dove in my hate, I ran towards her and jumped at her face. Now her body lies dead. Even her ashes were avidly consumed by the flames. As the day turns to night, as the end meets my fight, A long path shows that all is gloom leading me into the castle of doom.
