I want to know what my life will be worth
Soon I'll know this at the Gate of Freedom
From the castle I see my land
Defended for many years on end
Now my sun's going down on me
And I will look back once more
I am old but my spirit's young
Young enough to fight again
I know I will, die with fear
Until the last judgement is made
I will never rest until my time comes
Then, forever, this all will be mine
I know there is a place
People call it Heaven's Gate
Freedom is the reward for a sober life.
I have fought for my freedom in the most righteous ways,
But verdicts will be my share
After me there is someone left,
Someone who I, who I have raised for years
Now he has to succeed
This knight who never failed his task
I doubt that he is capable
Of a task as great as this
Always he wants power and strength
No matter the loss it may take
Die!! Leave this world now!
I can free my soul!
Free my soul from you!
Darkness is my guide, that I have to follow
There will be some victims in my name
Faith and labour, the only things they need
Church and power will go hand in hand
First my eyes will die for you
So I won't see those people's tears
Hearing screams, swords and fire
My thoughts will turn away
Mindless thoughts are those, that old men can make
This cold future can't be rea
I know I will force this land to make its only choice
Honesty, prosperity will only grow apart
He has always reigned
Against my will
Now he's old enough to face his mistakes
I know there is a place
People call it Heaven's Gate
Freedom is the reward for a sober life
When I stand at this Gate
Guarded by powers from Heaven and Hell
I know I'll find my home
I hope I'll sleep in peace
I have fought for my freedom in the most righteous ways
But verdicts will be my share
