lyrics

An eternal light watches over the darkness door
A powerful light from a gloomy house
The cemetery was built around this one
According to a strange prophecy

Midnight rings, one can hear the bell and the house lights up
The sky clouds over and the moon has a bloody shade
Alone in the dark, among the dead, insanity’s reigning
Turning back is useless, the mystery will be discovered

The shutters in rags slam against the wall and the doors creak in noise
The ground has rotted because of the sinking blood
In a circular room, many corpses drag on the floor
In perfect harmony, they venerate the light

I can’t help following this light with my eyes
More and more I think the text is made by lies
A light cannot be responsible for death
However, no one came back from this place

This wonderful light attracts me
I feel I’m falling into a trap
But I can die for it
Like many others before
I’ll stay here forever
This house is my tomb

I can’t help following this light with my eyes
In reality the text is not a lie
My life is ending I can see Satan’s face
You’ll never come to see the light in death’s place
