Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The infernal first song of the new formation,we'll never stop because the
Final disaster is near !
Now as you die pain comes quickly over you
Your mind is fulfilled with fear
Shadows of darkness apear in the light
Suffer now in darkness lonely and see
Living proud is nothing worth
Fall down when you realize the end
On a path to hell into the fire-BURN!
Memories of a life in pleasure and light
Say goodbye to the world beyond
Surruonded by shadows of darkness and cold
Your soul to the porter of hellgate-FALL!
Desaster's song "Porter of Hellgate" from the album "Infernal Voices" is a haunting and dark piece that depicts the journey of a dying person towards the gates of hell, where a porter awaits to take their soul. The song opens with an ominous message from the band, saying that they will never stop because the final disaster is near. The first verse talks about the intense pain and fear that the person feels as they die. The shadows of darkness envelop them, and all they can do is suffer in agony before ultimately succumbing to death.
The chorus talks about the futility of living a proud life, as eventually, we all fall and meet our demise. The path to hell and eternal damnation is symbolized by the fire that burns us all. The second verse reminds us that we should not cling to memories of our life in pleasure and light, as ultimately, we must say goodbye and accept our fate. The final lines speak of the porter of hellgate, who awaits to take our souls to the dark abyss of hell.
