Dark Fortress - In Morte Aeternitas lyrics
[Dark Fortress - In Morte Aeternitas lyrics]
What is this now
I am back on the highest spire
But where are my comrades?
Where are their corpses? I want to
Burn them in my people's way
There is no slain flesh, no bloodstains
Not a trace of them to be found
(A voice from the darkest corner
Of the shadowy castle hall)
It has become eternal stone
What once was flesh and bone
To guard this fortress dark
With a stone cold heart
Atop the towers highest peaks
Part of the wall the carved beasts
Forever silent untiring guards
Lurking with their stone cold hearts
Resurrection – I have returned from the fire
Resurrection – but I have been changed
So much faster, so much stronger
What mortal man shall stand against me
So much keener, so much sharper
My vision reveals the unseen to me
So much harder, so much colder
My heart has become as
The gargoyles around me
Resurrection – Once I was dead
Resurrection – No more tears
I have returned!
(Deep within the bleak walls
Of the dark fortress
I have found a room of mirrors
Upon their shimmering surfaces was displayed
A scene from a strange and foreign land)
I am back on the highest spire
But where are my comrades?
Where are their corpses? I want to
Burn them in my people's way
There is no slain flesh, no bloodstains
Not a trace of them to be found
(A voice from the darkest corner
Of the shadowy castle hall)
It has become eternal stone
What once was flesh and bone
To guard this fortress dark
With a stone cold heart
Atop the towers highest peaks
Part of the wall the carved beasts
Forever silent untiring guards
Lurking with their stone cold hearts
Resurrection – I have returned from the fire
Resurrection – but I have been changed
So much faster, so much stronger
What mortal man shall stand against me
So much keener, so much sharper
My vision reveals the unseen to me
So much harder, so much colder
My heart has become as
The gargoyles around me
Resurrection – Once I was dead
Resurrection – No more tears
I have returned!
(Deep within the bleak walls
Of the dark fortress
I have found a room of mirrors
Upon their shimmering surfaces was displayed
A scene from a strange and foreign land)
