Lyrics

(The Voice) And so it's come to this:
Two Gates, two portals await
Let your choice be guided by collective wisdom
Mmm, hath the prospect of freedom ever tasted so good?
One gate completes the circle
One step away from your own dimension, your cherished time
One gate severs all connections
One step away from the dreamworld of everlasting ebony
You call it Oblivion
It is a brave soul who makes the first choice

(Barbarian) Behold these gates, the first one plain and old
Behold these gates, the second forged of gold
The gate of old spells out disgrace and shame
The one of gold cries out my noble name

I challenge death to meet me at this gate!
I challenge Odin to pronounce my fate!
And if I thrive I've overcome this land
But if I fail I'll die a worthy man

(Roman) Open the gate, we're now on our own!
(All) Enter the gate to your destiny!
(Roman) Will it be fortune or fate, the truth shall be known!
(All) Enter the gate to your destiny!

(Barbarian) Cowards whine beyond the olden gate
Valhalla shines beyond the golden gate
I walk alone so dare not follow me
But choose your own and die in agony!

(Roman) Open the gate, we're now on our own!
(All) Enter the gate to your destiny!
(Roman) Will it be fortune or fate, the truth shall be known!
(All) Enter the gate to your destiny!

(Barbarian) What heathen place might this be?
Why are the heavens so black?
Eternity it threatens
Darkness crashes down upon me! Oh!
Like a big black bat of death, it smothers my senses
Makes me lose my sense of time
This cannot be a dream!
I need to be wide awake! Wide awake!
When the Valkyries come to take me
To my place among the warriors
To my place by Odin's side!
Ooh!

(Knight) We have been saved, our journey has ended!
But tell us why, why this ordeal?
What was your aim, or was it just some game?
Have we been humbled, or did we prevail?

We've been enslaved, our wounds have not mended!
And who are you, what magicians or gods?
What was your plan, we don't understand!
Did we pass? Or did we fail?

(Roman) Open the gate, we're now on our own!
(All) Enter the gate to your destiny!
(Roman) Will it be fortune or fate, the truth shall be known!
(All) Enter the gate to your destiny!
