Arrival

Let me through, open the gate
I will determine your fate
It was you who summoned me here
To end this raging fear

Autumn winds, starless night
The freezing rain inhibits my sight
Soon this ordeal shall come to an end
The glory of God I will defend

Rising, a gate that is barred
"Let me in," I shout to the guard
Show me the way to the mayor's abode
For I am tired after long on road

Let me through, open the gate
I will determine your fate
Here stands a man of the Lord
Serving the faith with the cross and the sword
It was you who summoned me here
To end this raging fear
Make way in the name of God

Hooded heads, crooked cries
The ever fear of a stranger's eyes
Beggars and thieves, no room for a brother
A city of sin, just like the others

Know this that you'll reap what you sow
His gaze tears through your flesh, head to toe
Sodom incarnate, by your own deeds
A cleansing of evil, just what this town needs

Riding through the open gate
I will determine your fate
Here comes the man of the Lord
Serving the faith with the cross and the sword
It was you who summoned me here
To end this raging fear
Make way in the name of God

The faces of the structures
Are smiling in the night
The feeling of a rapture
My dreams' recurring sight
That lamp in midst the dark
I've seen it in my dreams
Could this be the devil's mark?
So it seems!

I'm taken to the Opera
This edifice of flame
Where ghostly shadows linger
To play a deadly game
Rising like a tower
A fortress of the night
Let his work be done here
With all Thy holy might

A melody grows stronger
With every step I take
Behind these wooden curtains
So much is at stake
Cometh has your saviour
To evil here unmake
I don't know what awaits here
So far from daybreak!
