Bathory - Enter the Eternal Fire

From their 1987 album "Under The Sign of The Black Mark"

Lyrics to Enter the Eternal Fire

Leave the world of mortals to walk into the mist to stalk unto the other side
Plains of otherness
The utter emptiness
Where time have ceased and dark and light collide
Crossing the river of death and water cold
Slowly walking up the bridge
The jewelled bridge I walk for what seems a lifetime
In the night it's jewels glow
There on the other side
On shore of no return
The one for me awaits
Cannot avoid the eyes
In which the fire burns
Comed this far it is too late

And He calls my name
First a whispering then louder
And he wants me to follow
And to Enter the Eternal Fire......

I walk this endless night
His eyes the only light
Repeatedly he whispers my name
Fingers move and twist
Through crimson thick dark mist and voices cry of agony and pain
Close now to his kingdom
The bleak world dark and still
I follow the voice whispering my name
Approach the gate of sin
Opened up to let me in and there, He stand in flames
The price now I must pay for eternity my soul his claim
For years of pleasures, victory and gold
The one who stand in flames
Now rise and walk my way and reach out for my soul

And He calls my name
First a whispering then louder
And he wants me to follow
And to fall down. The Eternal Fire......

I stand at the jaws of the pit
The heat scorch my flesh
The fall seem never to end
My hair burn
My eyes can't see
The flames slowly eat my soul
The pain tears my mind
Hear my cries oh Lord
Have mercy oh Lord
This can't be
Raging flames all over me
Inferno of heat
Oh no, oh no, oh noooooo, noooooo, noooooo......

@musicalkaratekid HELL YES. I recently just started listening to black metal and this was one of the first songs i listened to. I can't even count how many times ive hit the replay button on this

[Capt1Amazing]

Pure masterpiece..

[thehellezell]

Wow, never realized how much this was inspired by Manowar's Bridge of Death until I read the lyrics. This is a better straight up song, but I still like that in Manowar's version the guy is stoked about going to Hell and never seems to regret it. Every band should have an epic walking in to Hell song.

This song is the biggest reason why i bought the shirt for this album. It reminds me of conan the barbarian or some other medieval warrior walking through a misty cave.
