A Gate To Past Times lyrics

Song information

Artist: Penitent
Album: Songs Of Despair

Lyrics

Mysteries of ancient times
Of when our ancestors lived
Treasures of a forgotten time
Yet to be revealed

Ideas of an afterlife
Ancient views
A life beyond the grave
A gate to the past

The passage to the hereafter
To dear departed souls
Packed tombs
A celestial standard of living

Mistresses buried with diamonds
Monarchs accompanied by symphonies
A stunning array of artefacts
A long lost custom

A newly discovered decade
An era of endless nights in eternity
The underworld holds many treasures
Immortality is the beauty of our past

The quest for everlasting life
Guarded tombs
Sacrifice through rituals
One gives in order to take

Beneath the remains
In a flowing robe
I am the last in my tribe
The last shaman

I sacrifice to the spirits of departed ancestors
Energy is the source of the rite
I am the fabulous beast
Born in the past into the future
