GATES OF ISHTAR LYRICS

1. Perpetual Dawn (The Arrival Of Eternity/End My Pain)

Time has taken it's toll
Years passed by like a storm
Cold, burning inside, I'm not the same
I've changed my ways

Dawn hunting my dreams
Fear, silent I scream
Pain growing inside, I'm not the same
I've found my way

Nothing is the same anymore
The times have changed, I feel so cold

Hate is ripping my guts
Light is blinding my eyes
Fools, spare me your lies, my ears are def
My mind is black

God - where is your god?
Pain - there's my god
Death - come for me now, end my pain
Show me the way

Everytime, everywhere
Everdawn, everfear
Nothing more, nothing less
All is done, all is said

2. Trail Of Tears

Fallen blind to the demons within
The path to take and I walk it in pain
A darkened mind of destructive taste
My hateful seed grows stronger within

My own hatred - it burns deep inside
My eyes are blind to the demons within
My own hatred - I scream inside
My lips are sealed by the kiss of non-devine

My pain is drowning in the tears I cannot shed
As flowers withers life must come to an end
Can't put me out of my own misery
So I continue on my darkened trail of tears

My own hatred, my trail of tears
My pain is drowning in the tears I cannot shed
My own journey I'll walk to the end
As flowers withers every man has his trails

My own hatred, my trail of tears
My eyes are blind to the demons inside
My own hatred - it grows inside
I hide my fear in the mists of slumbering wine

My constant presence will torment my soul
Like claws from the past, in my eyes shredding tears
Can't put me out of my own misery
So I walk forever on my darkened trail of tears

3. Forever Scarred

Take me, hold me
In your palms I feel so calm
Clean me, erase me
Heal my wounds and remove my filth
Empty, soulless
My heart of stone so ashen cold
Tearing, burning
The years of pain I can't forget

Forever scarred

Come, share my pain
Stare into my eyes
Never close the door on me
Run, share my hate
Feel my wrath inside
Never come to close to me

Wake me, shake me
From this nighmare, my own hell
Touch me, clutch me
Tear my mask, my veil of lies
Feel me, be me
I'm the blood inside your veins
Show me, guide me
Help me find my way back home

4. Dreamfields

The silence of evening
I'm embraced by its cold
On the bloodred path I walk
Into darkest eternity
From no time, place or time I came
Across the friends of my dreams
Through the dreaming glade I've walked
Somewhere in forrests of sleep

The silence of evening
I'm awake still I dream
I've walked down the shores of time
In the shadows of sin
In a time of tears it comes
To burn the fields of my dreams
I've seen the signs by the shores of time
The last of dawns are to come

I've seen the signs by the shores of time, burning damnation
Now I walk alone through the gates of sin, without repention

The silence of evening
Still I wait for the dawn
On my trail of tears I walk
In a time of tears it comes
To burn the fields of my dreams
I've seen the signs by the shores of time
The last of dawns is to come

5. Dawn Of Flames

After days filled with darkness
Comes a dawn, the last in time
It shall burn the wings of angels
And desecrate the heart of man

It will flood the shores of heaven
And unleash the wrath of flames
It will tear your god's creation
And caress the soil with grief

I turn and face the dawn

In a time of damnation
Stars are fading, its the end of creations
Greet the dawn one last time
No more sorrow as all life ends
Dawn of fire, wrath of flames
Join the ashes as damnation begins
Greet the dawn as you die
No more sorrow it's the dawn of the dead

It's the dawn of flames...In a time of tears
No more sorrow...No more fear

No repention, no salvation
You can't escape the flames of hate
Burning your eyes, burning your face
Licking your skin as the storm begins

6. Eternal Sin

I feel much colder in my heart and soul
My wrath is growing stronger every day
I am the shadow in every night
I am the demon, born of black and raised in hate

My eyes are bleeding those crimson tears
My kingdom is calling stronger every day
I am the silence in every night
I am the demon waiting for the dawn to come

I'm at the gates of eternal sin
My kingdom come, my will be done
I'm at the gates to eternal sin
still waiting for the dawn to come

I scream in silence of pain and fear
There's no salvation for all my sins
The storm is coming, the dawn of flames
I walk the darkness waiting for the dawn to come

7. No Time

I calm the storm for a while
And stare into your tearful eyes
Hide your fears, deep inside
Behind your veil of lies
Born from the sin, filth within
I am the fear in your dreams
Hide your tears, cry within
Then learn what fear really means

No salvation, the past can never be changed
The book is written in blood of their enemies

All your lies and your cries
Now you shall pay in blood
Endless pain you shall gain
From trusting the book of lies
No repent christian friends
Your god can't save you now
Watch the dawn, last in time
Before you leave this life

There is no time for salvation
And nothing can change what you've done
Tear out the pages and burn them
And rewrite the chapter once more

There is no time for last repention
When all you've done is trusting
There is no time for last salvation
Soon comes the dawn to take your life

8. The Embrace Of Winter

Darkness fell on winter skies
Daylight died as the fullmoon rose
Winds were cold and the trees were bare
The shadows danced on the mirrormere
Days were night when the sun had failed
The silence ruled, no sound appeared
Freezing moon shined everywhere
I felt so cold, the end was near

Everlasting winter, frostwinds rode the skies
Neverending darkness, until fire walks the earth

Cold winds of darkness, give me shelter from daylight
Winter, embrace me and hide me from morning
