“Keeper of the Gate” was inspired by the ancient Egyptian mythology surrounding Anubis, the god of the afterlife and the guide of souls. His role as the silent judge, weighing hearts against the feather of Ma’at, represents the ultimate moment of truth. The lyrics aim to capture the eerie, majestic presence of Anubis—both feared and revered—standing at the threshold between life and eternity. The song builds like a ritual, invoking the atmosphere of a grand ceremony in the halls of the dead.

Keeper of the Gate

(Verse 1 – Mysterious & Majestic)
Whispers in the desert wind,
Shadows move where time grows thin.
Golden sands, a fate foretold,
He walks between the young and old.

(Pre-Chorus – Chant-like, Ritualistic)
Silent judge, unseen eyes,
Weighs the heart, no prayer denies.
A gaze so cold, a wisdom vast,
Echoes through the ages past.

(Chorus – Powerful & Grandiose)
Keeper of the gate, the soul’s own fate,
Guardian of those who cannot wait.
Through the dark, beyond the veil,
He will lead, he will prevail.

(Verse 2 – Haunting & Ethereal)
Golden scales, a breath held tight,
Truth revealed in judgment’s light.
Feathers fall, the balance sways,
One step wrong—eternal maze.

(Pre-Chorus – Ritualistic, Chant-like)
Silent judge, unseen eyes,
Weighs the heart, no prayer denies.
A gaze so cold, a wisdom vast,
Echoes through the ages past.

(Chorus – Repeats with More Power)
Keeper of the gate, the soul’s own fate,
Guardian of those who cannot wait.
Through the dark, beyond the veil,
He will lead, he will prevail.

(Bridge – Instrumental, Epic Drums & Egyptian Orchestration)
“Bow before the lord of death,
No deceit escapes his breath…”

(Final Chorus – Grand, Chanting Voices, Triumphant & Haunting)
Keeper of the gate, shadow’s might,
Guiding souls to endless night.
Weigh the sins, let fate be known,
In his hands, you’re not alone.
