In Morte Aeternitas

Dark Fortress

Compositor: Victor Bullok / Jörg Neoral

What is this now, I am back on the highest spire, but where are my comrades?
Where are their corpses? I want to burn them in my people's way
There is no slain flesh, no bloodstains, not a trace of them to be found

(A voice from the darkest corner of the shadowy castle hall)

It has become eternal stone
What once was flesh and bone

To guard this fortress dark
With a stone-cold heart
Atop the tower's highest peaks
Part of the wall the carved beasts
Forever silent untiring guards
Lurking with their stone-cold hearts

Resurrection, I have returned from the fire
Resurrection, but I have been changed

So much faster, so much stronger, what mortal man shall stand against me
So much keener, so much sharper, my vision reveals the unseen to me
So much harder, so much colder, my heart has become as the gargoyles around me

Resurrection, once I was dead
Resurrection, no more tears

I have returned!

Deep within the bleak walls of the dark fortress
I have found a room of mirrors, upon their shimmering surfaces was displayed
A scene from a strange and foreign land
