And so it's come to this. Two Gates - two portals await. Let your choice be guided by
collective wisdom. Ah, hath the prospect
of freedom ever tasted so good? One gate completes the
circle;one step away from your own dimension, your cherished time. One gate
severs all
connections: one step away from the dreamworld of everlasting ebony. You call it Oblivion.
It is a brave soul who makes
the first choice.
[barbarian]
behold these gates, the first one plain and old
behold these gates, the second forged of
gold
the gate of old spells out disgrace and shame
the one of gold cries out my noble name
I challenge death to meet me at this
gate
I challenge Odin to pronounce my fate
and if I thrive I've overcome this land
but if I fail I'll die a worthy
man
[chorus]
[roman] open the gate, we're now on our own
[all] enter the gate to your destiny
[roman] will it be fortune
or fate, the truth shall be known
[all] enter the gate to your destiny
[barbarian]
cowards whine beyond the olden
gate
Valhalla shines beyond the golden gate
I walk alone so dare not follow me
but choose your own and die in
agony
[chorus]
[barbarian]
(fading into oblivion,)
[knight]
we have been saved, our journey has ended
but
tell us why, why this ordeal?
what was your aim, or was it just some game
have we've been humbled, or did we prevail?
we've been
enslaved, our wounds have not mended
and who are you, what magicians or gods?
what was your plan, we don't understand
did we
pass, or did we fail?
[chorus]
