[Intro] [Verse] Crimson streaks paint the northern sky As ancient pacts begin to die A chill descends, a mournful cry From realms where shadows never lie Giants stir, their slumber broken Whispers of the doom unspoken Each frozen breath, a curse invoked On mortal souls, their fate is choked [Pre-Chorus] The veil grows thin, the earth it groans Beneath the weight of spectral thrones Harsh winds howl through barren zones Where only sorrow now intones [Chorus] Hel's Gate opens at the dawn! Not with light, but with a mournful yawn A pale sun rises, cursed and drawn To usher in the final spawn Dead armies rise, a spectral tide With nowhere left for souls to hide Across the worlds, they now will ride Where fate and fury coincide [Verse] Choral darkness starts to swell A sacred, terrifying spell From depths of the infernal well A thousand ages start to tell Low strings descend, a mournful drone On sacred ground, now overthrown Tribal drums begin to moan As all that's living turns to stone [Pre-Chorus] The boundary breaks, the worlds collide No sanctuary left inside With grim resolve, they march and stride Where hope and mercy are denied [Chorus] Hel's Gate opens at the dawn! Not with light, but with a mournful yawn A pale sun rises, cursed and drawn To usher in the final spawn Dead armies rise, a spectral tide With nowhere left for souls to hide Across the worlds, they now will ride Where fate and fury coincide [Bridge] This pale light, a dying ember As ancient gods we now remember Their vengeance burns, a cold December Each fallen warrior, their last surrender Colossal dread, a crushing weight Sealing every mortal fate No plea can alter what awaits Beyond these ever-widening gates [Instrumental] [Chorus] Hel's Gate opens at the dawn! Not with light, but with a mournful yawn A pale sun rises, cursed and drawn To usher in the final spawn Dead armies rise, a spectral tide With nowhere left for souls to hide Across the worlds, they now will ride Where fate and fury coincide [Outro]
