And so it's come to this. Two Gates - two portals await. Let your choice be guided by |
|
collective wisdom. Ah, hath the prospect of freedom ever tasted so good? One gate completes the |
|
circle;one step away from your own dimension, your cherished time. One gate severs all |
|
connections: one step away from the dreamworld of everlasting ebony. You call it Oblivion. |
|
It is a brave soul who makes the first choice. |

[barbarian] |
|
behold these gates, the first one plain and old |
|
behold these gates, the second forged of gold |
|
the gate of old spells out disgrace and shame |
|
the one of gold cries out my noble name |
|
I challenge death to meet me at this gate |
|
I challenge Odin to pronounce my fate |
|
and if I thrive I've overcome this land |
|
but if I fail I'll die a worthy man |
|
[chorus] |
|
[roman] open the gate, we're now on our own |
|
[all] enter the gate to your destiny |
|
[roman] will it be fortune or fate, the truth shall be known |
|
[all] enter the gate to your destiny |
|
[barbarian] |
|
cowards whine beyond the olden gate |
|
Valhalla shines beyond the golden gate |
|
I walk alone so dare not follow me |
|
but choose your own and die in agony |
|
[chorus] |
|
[barbarian] |
|
(fading into oblivion,) |
|
[knight] |
|
we have been saved, our journey has ended |
|
but tell us why, why this ordeal? |
|
what was your aim, or was it just some game |
|
have we've been humbled, or did we prevail? |
|
we've been enslaved, our wounds have not mended |
|
and who are you, what magicians or gods? |
|
what was your plan, we don't understand |
|
did we pass, or did we fail? |
|
[chorus] |
