Up there the gates are now forever closed Only downward you may go Abandon all hope as you enter this cathedral of doom As hooks of the pious mark you damned flesh Humid walls echo your prayers for redemption Longing to undo your life's in vain In gloom and grave disdain, you are here to stay Blood curdling in everlasting acts of confession Every aspect of your being scrutinized, resolved Twisted figures abstract and cold condemn you Martyrdom, sacrifice Thoughts that stain the mind All alone, lunacy The bane of the virgin kind The cadre of faceless automatons annulling life From resurrection to oblivion forevermore Down below worn chains clattering without end Only through devouring flames the innocent will be absolved
