Lyrics Dark Fortress

Dark Fortress

In Morte Aeternitas

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...)
