WITHIN TEMPTATION
- Gatekeeper Lyrics / with translationsThe shadows of the night,
Are unleashed again
Where their greed begins,
the end is near
A morbid hunger for blood,
Lies in their cold black eyes
They've come to take our lives away
One by one they died
A massacre that took all night
They had no chance, it was no fight
You can't kill what has been killed before
They died.....
With shadows on its tale
He stepped through the portal,
Locked the door and ate the key
With his life they took their way to freedom,
And he became the final keeper of the key.
Are unleashed again
Where their greed begins,
the end is near
A morbid hunger for blood,
Lies in their cold black eyes
They've come to take our lives away
One by one they died
A massacre that took all night
They had no chance, it was no fight
They died.....
With shadows on its tale
He stepped through the portal,
Locked the door and ate the key
With his life they took their way to freedom,
And he became the final keeper of the key.
