Obscure whispers of conspiracy enemies behind the gates
Selling their souls for silver betrayal of their kin and faith
Offering their treacherous hands out of opportune desires
To the merciless invaders who scavenge and scourge with fire

Walls built to endure a siege of a 1000 years
Protector of the menaced realm harboring those in fear
Fortifications indestructible holding out against the hordes
Yet a poisonous fruit of betrayal ripening behind the palace doors

Insidious conspiring by emissaries of treason
Poisonings and murder in a cloak and dagger game
The mantle of deceit covering the face of betrayal
Assassinations occur perpetrators shrouded in mystery

Skulls they adorn the traitor's gate headless and scorned
Skulls they adorn the traitor's gate headless and scorned

Rumors of the black hand plotting for the collapse
Generating fear and distrust hope turns into despair
Ruthless attempts to uncover the menace behind the palace walls
Disloyalty of inner circles blossoming flower of distrust

Imminent acts of sabotage hold the keys to the gate
Need to master the turmoil or meet a desperate fate
Heinous behaviour to be halted or lose the reigns of power
Conspirators to unmask to avoid certain defeat

Skulls they adorn the traitor's gate headless and scorned
Skulls they adorn the traitor's gate headless and scorned

Disgracefully unmasked and their true faces are revealed
Swift execution of the traitors after prolonged torture to confess
Vengeful decapitations no mercy for the snakes
Ravens picking the flesh their skulls adorn the gates

Skulls they adorn the traitor's gate headless and scorned
Skulls they adorn the traitor's gate headless and scorned
