Passage to Extinction - Dark Fortress

Burning, I’m burning.

Flames are dancing around me

The sky is red and white.

But strangely so I feel no heat

And then I realize I have died

There is no flesh to be seared.

In this realm of fire

In unmeasurable pillars of flames towers of charred and blackened bone

On the horizon a great beast is flying a dragon with seven heads

In a realm of fire — The beast is coming closer — In a realm of fire

Like a choir I hear the screams of the endlessly tortured souls

A cruel hymn to the nightmare that is coming

As if their only reason for existence was to praise this wicked terror

And with eyes aflame the dragon touched the fiery ground

With the instinct of years of battle I reached for my blade, but it wasn’t there

After all only my spirit had entered into this realm of fire

(The speech of the Whore)

«Welcome to where spirits burn, this place has uncounted names.

Hell or Hades,

Nifelheim, this is the abyss eternal

I am as old as the race of man.

I have seduced the first king and became the

first queen

I have charmed emperors and lords throughout all times

I am what a thousand hearts adore

The seven-headed whore

You, my sweet mortal are to be my chosen one

I will send you sailing on oceans of time and fate

Where the worlds collide you will ride

And your first gift shall be immortality

I am what a thousand hearts adore

The seven-headed whore

Return to earth now, your flesh has regrown

And your heart has now been shaped into a heart of stone…"

(The vortex of stars in the black night

That brought me here again surrounds my spirit and I feel like I am falling…)
