Medium paced tempo with orchestral strings, vocal, and bells. I uploaded a new version of this song. I recorded the guitar parts again with a new sound. I also added some spooky atmospheric sounds to the intro.

I make my way down to the ruins of the ancients
where the monoliths have stood for ages
time has barely touched this sacred place
the stones stand as if waiting for the next rite
what secrets they must hold

this time each evening, it appears
a black fog that swirls up from the granite rock
I've seen it many times
I always watch it, keeping my distance
this thing that refuses to leave this place
I feel it beckoning, calling to me

Within this mist, I can see shapes and movement
what other world must lie inside
where this path leads to, I know not
eternal pleasure, or eternal pain

opening to a chaotic void, or the 7th plane of paradise
an opening to the world of the immortals
or a passage to the land of the dead

I grow weary of this realm of existence
for me it is full of misery and forgotten dreams
with nothing left to lose, I take a chance and test the fates
There's no turning back now

Through the dark mist
into the heart of the blackness
passage to a realm unknown
the gate between worlds
through the dark mist I pass
