  • Leave the world of mortals to walk into the mist to stalk unto the other side
    Plains of otherness
    The utter emptiness
    Where time have ceased and dark and light collide
    Crossing the river of death and water cold
    Slowly walking up the bridge
    The jeweled bridge I walk for what seems a lifetime
    In the night it's jewels glow
    There on the other side
    On shore of no return
    The one for me awaits
    Cannot avoid the eyes
    In which the fire burns
    Comed this far it is too late

    And He calls my name
    First a whispering then louder
    And he wants me to follow
    And to Enter the Eternal Fire

    I walk this endless night
    His eyes the only light
    Repeatedly he whispers my name
    Fingers move and twist
    Through crimson thick dark mist and voices cry of agony and pain
    Close now to his kingdom
    The bleak world dark and still
    I follow the voice whispering my name
    Approach the gate of sin
    Opened up to let me in and there, He stand in flames
    The price now I must pay for eternity my soul his claim
    For years of pleasures, victory and gold
    The one who stand in flames
    Now rise and walk my way and reach out for my soul

    And He calls my name
    First a whispering then louder
    And he wants me to follow
    And to fall down. The Eternal Fire

    I stand at the jaws of the pit
    The heat scorch my flesh
    The fall seem never to end
    My hair burn
    My eyes can't see
    The flames slowly eat my soul
    The pain tears my mind
    Hear my cries oh Lord
    Have mercy oh Lord
    This can't be
    Raging flames all over me
    Inferno of heat
    Oh no, oh no, oh no, no, no Publisher: Universal Music Publishing Group
