This startling confusion of where I am

Floating memories and images drifting

I found myself beyond the stars

Through time and space with darkness leading me



Where dreams and darkness unite

Infinity and oblivion entwine



There is no choice but one

To forge ahead or to retreat

The struggle has begun

The ancient foe I vow to defeat



The startling confusion of where I am

I've journeyed long and here I stand

Poised at the gate to eternity

I'm on my own and I must proceed



Where dreams and darkness unite

Infinity and oblivion entwine



Screams of the dying mortals 

I can hear their screams

Grim visions of the dead

that I dream



Embrace the cause that once united

Break the walls that once divided

Lose not the hope you once had

The dream still lives and I will not fail



At the threshold, one step to change

To make a choice 

I promise that I will not fail



Embrace the cause

Break the walls

Lose not the hope

The dream still lives and I will not fail



Into these dreams of darkness that unite our souls

Into these dreams of sadness forever we’ll go 

Forsaking the illusion that turns the flesh from stone 

Forsaking this illusion that binds us to the bone



Weeping words are spoken, bespeak the misery

Time has taken apart what's meant to be

Hope has been shattered, the pieces that you see

Words are shaping, this message I will read 



My choice has been made

I shall return to dark 

This time I do not believe

Death be mine, I can’t betray 



I turn the key and lock the gate

Close the door and seal my fate

Take the road that leads me home

Death be mine, I can’t betray
