Beyond the realm, where demons dwell, far past the flames of hell Remains a gate, denied to all, wherein true evil lies The 7 gates, lie open wide and hell breaks out on earth But far beyond the reach of all, where hatred gave its birth Drenched in blood and swathed in gold, the sins of humankind One million martyrs screaming souls, within here you will find All hell behold The sins of man Since ages old On earth behold Since time began You sold your souls Now you have the key For eternity Behold the 8th gate Now you turn the key It's your destiny Behold the 8th gate There is a secret, deep within, the sacred lake of flames Kept by one so evil, known by so many names He's there each night, you fall asleep, he wakes with you at dawn He'll take your hand when you're with death, he's there when you are born Approach the lock and place it there and soon all will be found Turn the key, reveal yourself, mirrored in your eyes All hell behold The sins of man Since ages old On earth behold Since time began You sold your souls All hell behold The sins of man Since ages old On earth behold Since time began You sold your souls
