Deathtruck - Anubis

Stand beside the gates
Rise beyond the earth
Guard of heaven
Ferry down to hell
Show me the road to darkness

Too many rights I've wronged in this life of mine
Anubis drawing near for it's my time
Beneath the earth hounds scratching at my tomb
Only to consume

Shake the earth from your flesh
I lie awake but cannot see
The shepherd of the dead
This fate that stands before me
I hear them
Drawing near the sound of running
Buried deep
Beneath the earth something is coming

Stand beside the gates
Collect your bones
Rise beyond the earth
Terror in their eyes
Guard of heaven
A jackal beast
Ferry down to hell
Anubis will rise

Rise
He will rise

The god of life and death will pass judgement on me
Drawing near Anubis holds the key
My bones rest
My heart must show him innocence
Eternal damnation becomes my imminence

Stand beside the gates
Collect your bones
Rise beyond the earth
Terror in their eyes
Guard of heaven
A jackal beast
Ferry down to hell
Anubis will rise

But will I be consumed
My body lies in limbo in this tomb
They found me
The ground cracks as jackals begin
Consuming
My flesh for all my sins
My torture now begins

Limbs lie motionless
Utter hopelessness
Fear has me frozen
Flesh is ripped open
Blackened eyes sewn shut
Weighing of my heart
No where left to run
My torture has begun

Open the gates
That I may see my hollow fate
Great son of Ra
Prepare a path for me
Seeking Repentance for my sins
My time has come
Motionless waiting for release

How can I see
What's coming for me
As blood runs cold within my soul
I will fight
Through the undead
To find where I lie
On the other side

How could I fall
I lost it all
If only I could fight
Would I get past this life of mine
Death beckons it's my time
The gates open wide as I'm thrown into the eternal fire

How have I gotten here
The hounds of Anubis are drawing near
Feasting on my soul
No light left to behold
The rivers of blood in my veins are bare and clear
Yet still I lay here
Trapped in this hell
He's near
Yet still I lay here

And as I watch beyond the void
My doom becoming clear

With soulless eyes I realize
My fate was sealed in blood
The hell I've seen
Revealed to me
Encasing in the flood
Of every toil of my days
This life was long undone
With my first breath my fate was sealed
The hounds and I are one
