Lyrics The Gates of Slumber

The Gates of Slumber

The Riddle Master

What lies in the dungeons

Of Holy men's fears

For what would kings cower

And men drown in tears

What brings death and pleasure

Growth and decay

What makes life worth living

Who's the master today

That's how note read

Slipped under my door

The reason I know not

I have to know more

A poem to ponder

A challenge this night

The Riddle Master

Wants to master my mind

Oh no no no, oh no no no

Strange I was chosen, the fool divine

To battle the master

Of riddle and rhyme

Another mountain

For me to climb

I must find the answer

Before I run out of time

I have no solution

My mind blank with fear

The riddle has slain me

The master is near

Another demon

Walking the Earth

An Angel of darkness

Lucifer

Oh no no no, oh no no no

I can't believe it's true

I feel so damned coonfused

All I know is I must carry on and on and on

With blazing steel I'll fight

The evil in the night

Daughter of hell I shall not lose, not to you

Then it came to me

Just like a waking dream

The answer had to be Reality

The master does not laugh

Defeated by a man

Leviathan be damned, yea, yea, yea
