Passing the Portal

Andras


Oh, they are coming 
In silence they seem passing 
The portal to our ancestors 

No look behind in sorrow 
In honour they are leaving 
Knowing, I will follow 

So silent are their movements 
With pale faces of void 
But well-known touch of closeness 

Paralyzed by the appearance I stand 
Even the smell of death is real 
No scream wakes me up from this nightmare 

No more quest of time, hour zero 
The court is open, certain the sentence 

Tonight my destiny will rise from the shadows 
Of my doubts 
Dead faces point my way 
I will follow as they say 
Passing the Portal 

Follow the child with the cross 
Follow the priest and the funeral march 

Look in the eyes of your past 
Tasting the smell of decay
