Icy fog rises once more Under a mantle of blazing stars Nocturnal sky's eternity Embraces my (fevered) soul If I could only reach to the skies And bask in your grandeur I'm left alone with this sorrow Beneath grey trees And destiny's derision (I have felt) Your bewitching touch Astral forests in fragrant vistas Mountain-framed palaces Memories grasp my being Unending coldness My dying steps And always (as a distant savior) Your eternity grows Hear your call Eternal My prison Framed by ice Release me From this decaying pit Cruelest of stars Come for me
3.
Come, unmistakable horror Why must my kingdom fall? When did perfidious stars Decree the abyss? The symbols of death "Here be the achievement of my paths Only sorrow at this corner of time" Unending halls Stained in brimstone Into utter darkness I command this forgotten dark age The symbols of death Embracing arms of the void Sacrifices on stone Signs under cruel skies Flames rise Howls of despair Into this prison of life Frozen in time By the winds of horror Alcorath Thou blinding all light Just for once Cease my sorrow
4.
Into a forbidden land A deep and immutable curse Cruel night decreed The hunt has begun Spectral shades on the walls Walk black paths In mourning Hunting eyes Within red fog Beneath the crimson moon Blood in rivers run Oh! Sweet blood Offering of extasis As always As never Beneath the crimson moon Blood in rivers run Into the forbidden night Under claws of stone The hunt has begun
5.
Behold mist of the centuries Through primeval mountains I became one with eternity I was that wich lies still From the edge of dead worlds To the uncreated I fell and rose for thousand times I became one with eternity Seas of unknown horrors I sailed without light nor guide I sailed without light Remembrance of things to come That which lies undone Beholding life in translucent spheres Everything kneeled before me As above, so it was in the depths Always the unending ruin Immutable doom In each of my vistas Endless (as they are) I saw its hand As the universe screamed "Eternal Evil"

about

"From the mist of the centuries Ancient Gate brings forth a ritual of horrors best forgotten.

Alcorath's ruined gates are opened in a vortex of fateful memories, reviving echoes of an age when black funeral pyres consumed all light.

Six are the steps to the abyss of a Forgotten Dark Age."
