Chaos Theatre - Melodium Mortis Lyrics

"I have been led here to this destined moment
Time to move on, beckons the door"

Terrified of what waits for me inside
But fate has led me to this point in time
Conjuring the courage to decide
Imagining the things that I will find

Treasure? Gold as far as I can see
Heaven's wonder set aside for me
Battle? War awaits to be set free
Do hell's vile tricks lurk beneath

Time has come now for me to prepare
Mind and body for this curious affair
Summoning the strength to see us through
Intelligence will lead us to the truth
Constitution prevents us from the fall
Wisdom to guide us through it all

What awaits us on the other side
So many questions left unanswered
So much more for us to find
What secrets lie behind
Pushing forward through the door
No way of knowing what's in store

Through the portal, darkness blinding
An eerie presence lingers in the air
Moving further, silence deafening
Something up ahead is drawing near
Lights erupt from all around
And I can see the truth clearly defined
A monster of my own creation
Made up of a past I'd left behind

Tonight
I face the demon that spawned from my failure tonight
The pain of my past insists that I listen tonight
I'm looking into the eyes of my dearest tonight
This unholy dream's brought my worst fears to life

What is this madness? Where's the mercy
How did this happen to you, my dear
You were all I ever wanted
Now in your place is darkness and despair
I could never bring myself to give you up
Despite this deadly stage
Knowing precisely what it means
I'll shoulder all the blame and take it to the grave

Lying on the floor
I wait for death to take me
I can see the light
Bathed in all its glory

Death approaches now
Equipped with fife and hammer
She'll lead me through that door
And past its mystery and wonder
Death plays a haunting melody
My love, she falls peacefully

What awaits us on the other side
So many questions left unanswered
So much more for us to find
What secrets lie behind
Pushing forward through the door
No way of knowing what's in store

"Looking up as I fade to darkness
There is compassion in death's eyes"
