The Two Gates

Ayreon

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

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

Open the gate, we're now on our own
(Enter the gate to your destiny)
Will it be fortune or fate, the truth shall be known
(Enter the gate to your destiny)

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

Open the gate, we're now on our own
(Enter the gate to your destiny)
Will it be fortune or fate, the truth shall be known
(Enter the gate to your destiny)

What evil place might this be?
Why are the heavens so black?
Eternity threatens, darkness crashes down upon me, oh!
Like a big black bat of death smothers my senses
Makes me lose my sense of time
This cannot be a dream
I need to be wide awake, wide awake
When valkyries come to take me
To my place among the warriors
To my place by Odin's side
Ah!

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?

Open the gate, we're now on our own
(Enter the gate to your destiny)
Will it be fortune or fate, the truth shall be known
(Enter the gate to your destiny)
