lyrics

1. Verse:

Struggling against these chains/
Trapped in this dark hell/
Ignore the cries for help/
Ignore the prayers for death

Pre-Chorus 1:

There are no faces/
In the darkness/
Awaiting my turn/
To be a carcass

Chorus 1:

Dragged from my cell, kicking, screaming/
Please dear God don't take me to the gates

2. Verse:

Thrashing against these chains/
Blinded by the light/
Ignore the roaring crowd/
Ecstasy in their eyes

Pre-Chorus 2:

All the faces/
All the smiles/
The dead are waiting/
To be defiled

Chorus 2:

Dragged from my cell, kicking, screaming/
Please dear God, don't take me/
Forced to my knees, begging, pleading/
Please dear God, don't put me on the gates

Not the Gates (x4)

Pre-Chorus 3:

All the faces/
Here are grinning/
My life, my eyes/
It is beginning

Chorus 3:

Ripped from my neck, dripping, bleeding/
Oh dear God, I'm still alive/
Blinded by tar, dying, fleeing/
My head is placed atop the city gates

about

Asketia Rovaniemi, Finland

Gutturally visceral Death Metal from the desolate wastelands of the Arctic. Haunting songs paint a bleak picture of the apocalypse we call modern life. The winter is coming...
