Lyrics: He stood beneath the gates of stone Where no living soul had ever gone Every shadow bent to hear Every echo drew him near With trembling hands and broken breath He crossed the line of life and death He sang to lead her through the black With one command: do not look back Light her way through the echoes Light her way through the unknown Faith can lead through the darkness But doubt can steal the way back home Let the gates of the lost ones Show the way beyond the stones He heard her footsteps far behind A fading whisper in his mind The road was steep, the air was cold But still he kept the vow he’d sworn Her name was burning on his tongue A prayer he dared not leave unsung Toward the dawn that pulled him on One step from light, he carried on Light her way through the echoes Light her way through the unknown Faith can lead through the darkness But doubt can steal the way back home Let the gates of the lost ones Show the way beyond the stones Silence echoed off the walls Fear rose up and broke it all He turned around, the night had won And all he loved was lost by dawn No more light through the echoes No more song through the unknown One look back became his fall Orpheus’ oath became undone And the gates of the lost ones Left him there, standing alone
