Some ancient manuscript found a long time ago Prisoners and murderers accused of fearful crimes Were judged and locked up, their life was no more as before They were rotten to the core Blinded and tortured by guards, forsaken by hope Behind the gates Consumed by nightmares they prayed for themselves Blown, blown by the wind Their last cry for help, vanished in the night This place ignored by God hides legends and mysteries It's still unknown to maps, and to men's memories Escape is impossible, there is not a way to leave A sad destiny to come true, a prayer to the moon So that it can end soon Forever imprisoned and tied in this dark lagoon Behind the gates Consumed by nightmares they prayed for themselves Blown, blown by the wind Their last cry for help, vanished in the night Forsaken by hope Behind the gates Consumed by nightmares they prayed for themselves Blown, blown by the wind Their last cry for help, vanished in the night Oh! Oh! Behind the gates Consumed by nightmares they prayed for themselves
