The Guardian Tightly Rooted
Akerbeltz Lyrics

Here I come with no weapons to protect me
I am defenseless and vulnerable as I approach this place

Here I come with a bleeding heart in my hand
I am carrying my pain and sorrow with me

I walk the path naked in the embrace of the moon
I am exposed and illuminated by the moonlight as I journey forward

I'm not hostile as I enter your dominion
I come in peace and do not intend any harm

To reveive the powers that to others you steal
I seek the powers that you have taken from others

And I swear death by my own hand to whoever betrays
I vow to kill whoever deceives me

Deep Infernal rising
The underworld is awakening and stirring

Mercyless guardian. Protector of the gates of hell
The guardian is ruthless and protects the entrance to the underworld

Poison distiller, bringer of torture and pain
The guardian inflicts suffering and agony

Feed by the fear of countless graves
The guardian is nourished by the fear of those who have died

Mercyless guardian grabbed to the eath-
The guardian is rooted and attached to the earth

centuries have passed and most memories have failed. His roots grow stronger and larger every year
Despite the passage of time, the guardian's power and influence continue to increase

Sage and ancient feeding with the dead
The guardian is wise and ancient, and derives strength from the dead

No living form surrounds the soil were he's strenghten. Evil guards the path to the end
The area around the guardian is devoid of life, and malevolent forces protect the path to the underworld

Even fire dares not to shine in this presence.
The guardian's power is so great that even fire is unable to illuminate the area around it

As I enter his jaws I must fear no pain
I will not be harmed by the guardian's teeth as I approach it

He senses the weak and feeds on them
The guardian preys on those who are vulnerable and helpless

The chosen one must be in touch
The person who is chosen to face the guardian must be connected to the spiritual realm

With those who in eternal dreams lay...
With those who are in a perpetual state of slumber

Once by generation to guide the strong and the wise. Three each century to cause harm and despair. When the reaper decides the time for an end. The beast shall go to his lair and feed the guardian with his flesh
Every generation, one person who is wise and strong will be guided by the guardian. However, every century, three people will be harmed or traumatized by it. When it is time for the chosen one to die, their flesh will be fed to the guardian
