Vast Lands / Infernal Gates

Anata


Sentenced to a life after death in pains 
I will not be 
As the book of lies suggests 
Its basis are unworthy and twisted 
By the holy men 

Death is older 
So are the dimensions 
Onto which we shall travel 
True servants will be rewarded 
As they follow their master's will 
Disregarded of to whom 
They devote their lives 

I shall not listen to the holy lord 
If he calls my name 
Trying to pull me towards his kingdom 
I will choose to die by my own hand 

The promise failed 
The one of forgiving the unfaithful 
Let us stay inside our walls 
Sheltered from the holy lies 
True servants will be rewarded 
As they follow their master's will 

This is what we learned 
This is what I preach 

Eager to view the other side 
When the lord calls my name 

Then what is my destiny 
What will my reward be 
Vast lands... I will be a shadow king 
Or infernal gates 
With its hidden pleasures to reveal 

But what is said 
Should never be regarded 
As that I follow Him personified 
He is merely an expression 
For the force that I indulge 

The strongest power above all 
My truest emotion 
My only friend and all I have 
To fill my emptiness 
To make me come true 

Reward in advance 
Lies in self-fulfillment 
I levitate by serving only myself 
To rise above all 
I tread the souls of the weak 

Then what is to be awaited 
Of this we do not know 
The only certainty 
True servants will be rewarded 
As they follow their master's will 
And I follow my own 
And with reward in advance I levitate 
We struggle towards the end 
Serving the one to be served 
Achieving what has to be achieved 

With delight we await that very day
