In a dream or a nightmare, when love gives way to hate
The quest begins for the keys to the seven gates
Ride the wings of a locust, see the wizard cast his spell
Search for the keys to the seven gates of hell
In heaven's hell, where all evil dwells- and man and beast are one
Concealed to all, revealed to none
Lie those infernal gates, the damned infernal gates!
The seven gates of hell
Hear the cry of the zombie, rid the body of its soul
The quest for the sacred keys has become its goal
Steal the wings from a hydra, take the sword from the sacred shrine
Take the strength of the beast, and the sinner's mind
Unveiled in death to the sinner! Written in the ancient book of lies
Hear the demons call from the crimson waterfall
As the blood rains from the sky, oh
When reality's a dream and every lie is true
In the day when you are me, and the night when I am you
When the flame of life grows cold, we chime the silent bell
And the unborn child is old- the seven gates of hell!
We're going through the gates of hell
In heaven's hell, so many died in vain they never lived their tales to tell
None shall find the key to set their spirits free
From the seven gates of hell
The seven gates, the seven gates, the seven gates- the seven gates of hell!
