The smoke is leaving

Under the shadow of night

Something living

Stepping out from the fire

Crawling, slipping

Straighten up slowly and find

The Gate that stand

In the cosmic dark

Gnawing, scraping

The wooden giant

Nails are broken

Fists are being raised

Hammering

The Gate

The wind is blowing

Bowing the will and the spine

Feeling the pain

Despite being burned alive

Teeth are grinding

The ghost from the past

Lunatic hammering

On the way out

Hammering

The Gate

Enter through

The voice said

But leave hope behind

Enter through

But leave hope behind

Sharp screeching

Looking through the blazing eyes

Of a dead man

The Gate is open
