The prince of darkness has summoned me To bring a message to all of thee Listen forth, you'll learn it well For he'll meet you all at the gates of hell Walking through the mist of inferno road An elm displays her dusky arms The god of sleep there hides his head Empty dreams are left unsaid In various forms the specters mourn Centers double and besiege the door In the passage the hydra stands Reaching out with one hundred hands They're going down Down to the gates of hell They're going down Down to the gates of hell Gorgon turns with his triple frame Vain chimera vomits empty flame The chief he stands steel prepared Waiting there for those who dare Down to the gates of hell
