The Gates

Value the words in my dark tale
I speak 'bout the Countess of Hell
With weights of guilt I bear my cross
Save me, my Lord, if you can
My strength is weak
And my conscience deep
Hear this plea from a troubled and afflicted soul
I light a candle with a wish for death
The sick soul in me burns
When the moonlight reaches your window
She creeps out from the dark
She moves near, smooth as a cat
The red witch of the dark
Come to me, let's get lost in the twilight
Seems so long since I saw you, my dear
Dream away, come take my hand
The madam lures you into her service
With words sweeter than wine
She'll pretend, fill your head up with lies
Then slowly slash you apart
Oh, precious life-giving blood
What lurks in the darkness
Soon you'll know she betrayed you for fortune
Once you've entered her realm
Oh!
Magical romance
Where is the logic that rhymes?
I'll offer my heart and soul
To be by your side
Magical romance
Is the truth always stronger than lies?
This cannot be happening
I'm losing my mind
Odi va, pia, tu me test
Odi, cur sa visa me exort
Et a me cadam, pia, fuga mi
Domine, salus mia
Domine, Domine, Domine, salus mia
Domine, Domine, Domine, salus mia
I saw the peasant girls pass the gate
One by one they walked into Hell
Like sheep, brought to the slaughter
Never to return
Time, I curse the time, oh time
Mirror speaks the truth
Dripping in new spilled blood
She thought she found a way
The secret of eternal youth
For beauty you'd go by her name
Wash away all my sorrow
Please serve me as the way I am
(Serve me as the way I am) Embraced by
Morning, but the anguish lingers on
This torment does not seem to end
Infernal madness, her method for pleasure
Pleasurable infliction, murder
Oh, precious blood-filled souls
That dreadful object to
She'll make you bleed, tear your flesh into pieces
Or tie you up on the stake
Magical moments
Fear is the logic that binds
I open the gates to hell
To rule by your side
Magical moments
Feel my skin getting smoother tonight
Can this be happening?
Now lick her skin clean
Deep in my heart, deep in my soul
Hear the voice begin to speak
Forever damned, forever free
And forever belongs to me
Deep in my heart, deep in my soul
Hear the voice begin to speak
Forever damned, forever free
And forever belongs to me
Belongs to me
Belongs to me
Forever belongs to me
Forever belongs to me
Forever belongs to me
Forever belongs to me
