Soul Keeper is about a terrifying female divinity haunting the world in order to feed from the souls of lost wanderers.
lyrics
Deep into the night
Where souls of faceless dying
A letter going home
That’s scarier than nightmare
Where living in unknown
Will give more hope than knowing
That they will not come home
But heads still keep on rolling down
He will reap your souls
As you drown in despair
he’ll feed from your haunted minds
And collect your prayers
The Reaper’s found you now
Looking through darkness, no voice and no face
Doomsday is coming, deaths chilling embrace
There is no escaping now
Cannot escape what he writes in the book
Bloodiest ink lighten up by the moon
Make no sound, keeper of souls - your nightmare
Carries you into the depth of purgatory
Text in bold, a prophecy destined to be your end
A stare without face, carries away to the depth of hell
How does it feel to be trapped in his claws
How do you breathe when his hands strangle you
Son pas, une cadence infernale, qui te suit sans cesse, sans espoir, sans lendemain, tu t’enfuis mais en vain
Lost … beyond … endless sky
Thrown into darkness
Finding … faith with one last breath
Staring into the eye of death
No more prayers in the memory left
Fall down
Into gates of hell
The Reaper’s found you now
Looking through darkness, no voice and no face
Doomsday is coming, deaths chilling embrace
There is no escaping now
Cannot escape what he writes in the book
Bloodiest ink lighten up by the moon
Make no sound, keeper of souls - your nightmare
Carries you into the depth of purgatory
Text in bold, a prophecy destined to be your end
A stare without face, carries away to the depth of hell
