ANUBIS GATE LYRICS

1. Hall Of Two Truths

[Instrumental]

2. Downward Spiral

[Lyrics by Torben Askholm]

I seek one mind
I seek one soul
I hear the beating of my heart

I seek one truth
I seek a place in life
Where I'm worthy of your trust

It clouds my mind
When I'm reaching out for you
Leaving me so cold and alone

Show me what's concealed
Within these walls
An everlasting pain, or is it joy?

I wish you would hold me now
Take away my fears
Let it all out again

I'm losing my way
Taking a last look at my life
Death may be the peace I'm longing for

Father of pain
Father of fear
Please take my darkness away
Father of pain
Father of fear
Bring back my world again

Is this a nightmare?
Or is it reality?
Bringing back my memories

Another spin on life
Another spin on death
For those who feel the same as I do

If I disagree
You might not want to hear of me
Can't hold back the screams anymore

Father of pain
Father of fear
Please take my darkness away
Father of pain
Father of fear
Bring back my world again

He's my father
Father of fear
You are my pain
Father of pain
Brings us the shame
Want to walk into the light

He's my father
Father of fear
You are my pain
Father
Father
You
You
You're my father

3. Purification

[Lyrics: Henrik Fevre]

You've often watched and wondered why
No one seemed to pay attention
You've always blamed your childhood days
All the words unsaid, unmentioned

Time is closing in on you
No way out, nothing left to do
Take the journey to the hidden chambers of your mind

It won't be easy, it won't be nice
To face the man who's pulling your strings still
But only through this sacrifice
You can gain courage and will

Left with no alternatives
You cast your soul into the flames
Let them burn and melt your skin
Let purification begin

You've got to dig much deeper
to find the inner self
You've got to try much harder
to come alive again
And when the night is over
You'll be as right as rain
Purification brings you back from pain

Looking back you often cried
But you never knew the reason
Now anger comes and anger goes
All your life you’ve searched for treason

Target’s changing now you see
Who is who in your family
You shut the door, it’s time to be
All alone for a while

To figure out the true connection
Block out their words unsaid, unmentioned
Beware, don’t walk like them
Or their footsteps will haunt you again

4. Hypernosis

[Lyrics: Henrik Fevre]

Hypernosis, learn to see
Life and death from fantasy
It’s you your mind is reflecting now

Hypernosis, this is it
The colour doesn’t seem to fit,
But it’s you, oh you better believe it’s you

Hypernosis, every dream
Is caught within your thoughtmachine
And it’s cruel to see how confused you are

When hypernosis comes to end
There’s no way you can still pretend
And live on like nothing is wrong

I can’t stop, I can’t stop this silence
Or tell past from presence
I’m lost in the hands of the future
Looking through my mirror

In my face a number of odd times,
Bad dreams and old crimes
Episodes from my mother’s diary
Written on my body

Hypernosis…

Inside, inside the odious
Long lost and precious
Lies a deranged and repressed existence
Trapped from surfacing in silence

Now I’m here I’ll force you to surface
Get up, get out and accept your guilt
What you’ve done can never be undone
But forgiveness you shall get from above

5. In The Comfort Of Darkness

[Lyrics: Sonia Vasan]

In the twilight gloaming
I glimpsed your silhouette
In the shroud of midnight I heard you call my name

In the first cold light of dawn
I felt your warmth beside me
And your breath became tears upon my cheek

And if you do not tremble
When you behold your sin
And if you don't recoil
When you look into the mirror
The ghosts of yesterday will conquer you
For those who seek redemption
And I must burn, I will burn

You cast your veil of lead
Your beauty, my pain
Was it all a dream, phantom of my mind?
Was I your creator?
Or your destroyer?
Yet you fled from my arms, where no mortal could go

And if you do not tremble
When you behold your sin
And if you don't recoil
When you look into the mirror
The ghosts of yesterday will conquer you)
For those who seek redemption
And I'll burn and I'll burn forever

6. Before Anubis

[Instrumental]

7. I, Demon

[Lyrics: Torben Askholm]

Demons go all the way
Unbound on their righteous trail
They were graced by time
Living through their lies

Take me piece by piece
Want to share our common greed
Demonized by the seed
Life is what I need

Confounded in the maze of my soul
You are, you are a castaway
I wonder, I wonder who you are
Are you a demon or are you a god?
Can't see my way through the mist of it all
I found my way through the darkness
Oh Lord

Fuel my righteous hate
The sum of all my fears
I'm spinning around
My world comes tumbling down
Fuel my righteous anger
My hope has been slain
Years in pain, years in misery
Misery

Through centuries of fear
Ages of sin
Years of silence
We became dead from within
Fells like I'm falling
Can hear no sound

Fuel my righteous hate
The sum of all my fears
My world comes tumbling down
Fuel my righteous anger
My hope has been slain
Years in pain, years in misery
Misery, misery

8. The Shadow

[Lyrics: Sonia Vasan]

Unsought I come to you
Unbound I fly far from you
Unseen I follow
Unloved I need you

Curse me and curse yourself
Scorn me and you scorn yourself
Your shadow in me
My darkness in you

Shades of your little nightmares
Days of your past life are haunting you
Shape shift now, I'm your master
Can you see
Tragedy

Pained ages
Bowed fast to your evil will
Black heart of envy
I'm waiting to break free
I'm waiting to break free

I prayed on your dark dream
Grown great on your fantasy
Your sin revealed me
Your hate released me,
your hate released me

Shades of your little nightmare
Days of your past life are haunting you
Shape shift now, I'm your master
Can you see
Tragedy

Your days, your days
are mine forever
And your poisoned soul,
Your will chained to mine

I'm banished forever now
The world of light's lost to you
I stole your life's breath
Yet rolled you off to death

Wretch now I've made you mine
Come feel my malice so cold
Your darkness in me
My shadow in you, my shadow in you
My shadow, my shadow in you

9. Discrowned

[Lyrics: Torben Askholm]

I heard them calling
from a discrowned sky
Whispers in the darkness
The angels have fallen tonight

Faith is not an illusion
It's part of our lives
Life's filled with confusion
We might as well take our lives

Unconcious I'm lying
On the brink to insanity
No more broken promises
I'm a broken entity

Can you see me
Can you hear my call...
Please never leave me...
Don't ever let me fall...

See they are falling
Lost without a trace
Bewildered like children
All they needed was a little faith

Concealed from within
Our lord is calling
Blinded by our sins
We'll never win

Unconcious I'm lying
On the brink to insanity
No more broken promises
I'm a broken entity

Can you see me
Can you hear my call...
Please never leave me...
Don't ever let me fall...

10. Kingdom Of Duat

[Instrumental]
