Golden Gates

All my debts are settled
I am even with my gods
I am one with the universe
Ascending from my body
I see all the shades of my spirit
I am one with silence (silence…)
(Ah…)
Looking back on my past
All I left behind is death
All I’m left with is pride
Have I reached the end?
Will I ever be accepted… among the old ones? (The old ones)
(Hear echoing from beyond those Golden Gates)
(The deep voices of warriors who have found their fate)
(See shining with golden rays like a thousand suns)
(The glory and pure radiance of fallen sons…)
(Come!)
Now as I stand here before the wide-open gates
I, I feel the need to carry on
This is not the end of my path
I am not done
Something beckons me and every part of me is drawn toward it
My restless soul yearns for me to follow its call
And so I will
Sometimes fate is shrouded in a veil of mystery
Mine has always been clear — I see it now
The mountain calls and I shall answer
