Dimmu Borgir - Gateways

Like a top athlete before a big important competition I need to warm-up before getting down to the serious business of the Greatest Annual Horror Movie Review Series in the World - Ever! (simply known as The Hacker's Coven 30 Days of Fright to those with a less inflated sense of ego than mine).

Warming up the creative juices needed to write my little movie reviews is done in much the same way as you'd prepare for a big night out on the town - you drink too much cheap booze and play some music so loud that the neighbours are glad when you finally bugger off for the night. So, some music (and hard liquor at a reasonable price) is needed, and to begin with I present the Norwegian black metal masters Dimmu Borgir (it means "Dark Fortresses") with their recent hit which has been stuck in my head for ages, Gateways.



Gateways Lyrics:

The core principle of freedom
Is the only notion to obey
The formulae of evolution and sin
Leading the way

The rebirth is near completion
As we slowly awaken from slumber

The malpractice of the spirit ends
Gateways!
When the gift is once again attained
Gateways!
No rules or restraints are longer valid
Gateways!
When the ancient future is reclaimed
Gateways!

No rules or restraints are longer valid
Gateways
When the ancient future is reclaimed
Gateways

It's all there for the eyes that can see
The blind ones will always suffer in secrecy
For it is the omen of what lies submerged - Breeding
Untouched within us - Bleeding

The core principle of freedom
Is the only notion to obey
The formulae of evolution and sin
Leading the way
The rebirth is the year of completion
As we slowly awaken from slumber
To receive the light that shines in darkness
The light that shines forevermore (forevermore)

Be the broken or the breaker
Be the giver or the undertaker
Unlock and open the door
Be the healer or the faker
The keys are in your hands
Realize you are your own sole creator
Of your own master plan
Be the broken or the breaker
Be the giver or the undertaker
Unlock and open the door
Be the healer or the faker
The keys are in your hands
Realize you are your own sole creator
Of your own master plan
