The Black Gates
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Twilight over vast horizons
Like dead black stone they tower
Archway to the kings of old
Heirs of the shadowed deep
Bring on the night, bring on the pledge
Bring on the night, bring on the dead
While all the courage they devour
Upon unearthly screams they tower
Weeping willows, dead black stone to sire
Archway, swallow whole the plea
Bring on the night, bring on the pledge
Bring on the night, bring on the dead
Bring on the night, bring on the pledge
Bring on the night, bring on the dead
Lock the seven thrones of death
Hold the seven thrones of death
Until she will return
And open The Black Gates
And conquer thy fate
