I Am the Gateway - Nightbringer

At the barren edge of the silence of night

'neath the snare where the snake sheds its skin

Where the rivers of our strangest dreams collide

I ventured into the wilderness of death’s awakening

To seek for that which all others abhor

On a road that defies the course of the world

With the blood of my heart seal the fated oath

At the point where all moments unfurl

I chance my all for everything other

My soul unto you, demon and brother

Into the circle where eye must meet eye

With the one who is all that I am not

And the night is but all that lies in between

Where sown is my self’s seed

Within the torn tome of destiny

All secrets are tied to none strangling noose

That’s solved and rebound upon the gallows hill’s top

And in a storm of peacock feathered bliss

Shall strange new wine fall into my cup

For between the cold fingers fetching sense

Falls golden sparks and the fallen angels seed

That flows into the core of crossroads

Where all paths crooked and narrow must lead

Doorways unlocked, chalice overturned

I slit the jaded throat that sings the wretched world

And dive into the instant, the void of your face

Where the veins of God opens beneath my lightning bolt blade

The hour is struck, the time is at hand

To rewrite the rhymes that our cruel fate once planned

O Devil and God, on your road I embark

For we are bound everlasting by pact, birth and a murderer’s mark
