In the midway of my mortal life I have found myself in a gloomy woodS, astray Gone from the path I walked alone Like a lunatic... every day Slumbering, a wretched dream that's running Through my veins, Nothing is as it seems: Only madness, suffering and DECAY! Through me you pass Into the city of woe Through me you pass Into the black glow! Never to walk the Earth again For as long as I shall "live" inside this world Of torment and agony. Condemned forever Slowly I unfold Festering, A punishment that feels almost like relief Immortality is just a lie, a curse, Devil's seed... Torment, agony and death! Abandon all hope, ye who enter here What's done is done. And even memories That remain Can't change the day And things to come. Whispering inside my head The voice of God! Through me you pass Into the city of woe Through me you pass Into the black glow!
