[Intro] Oh-oh, the red gate’s rising, Oh-oh, the stars are cold. Oh-oh, the red gate’s rising, And the dark wants what we stole. [Verse 1] Four came back in silver shame, One stood clean and asked their name. Clockwork gods and metal rain, Primus put them on the chain. Cloak and rod and death-charm bright, Fed the helm for one more flight. Through the void with no moonlight, Carceri burned red in sight. [Pre-Chorus] Pay the price, light the spark, Steer the ship into the dark. Hold your nerve, draw your blade, Every debt must now be paid. [Chorus] Red gate rising, red gate calls, Through the stars where silence falls. Sail it fast and sail it true, Mind Flayers waiting, hunting you. Red gate rising, red gate gleams, Past the wrecks and broken dreams. Chain by chain, spark by spark, We ride laughing through the dark. [Verse 2] Asteroids rolled like dragon teeth, One dead ship lay still beneath. No crew stirred and no bell cried, Only purple lamps inside. Rigg went quiet, Q went small, Sneaking through the living wall. Found the book with whispers thin, Then the trap came closing in. [Pre-Chorus] One little imp, one stolen page, One rogue grin, one warlock rage. When Q went dark, the silence broke, High Jinks burned in violet smoke. [Chorus] Red gate rising, red gate calls, Through the stars where silence falls. Sail it fast and sail it true, Mind Flayers waiting, hunting you. Red gate rising, red gate gleams, Past the wrecks and broken dreams. Chain by chain, spark by spark, We ride laughing through the dark. [Verse 3] Dino drove the ship in hard, Tentacles reached through the stars. Rigg came back with book in hand, Straight from death’s own purple land. Then they boarded, steel and spell, Into one tight corridor hell. Valen smiled, raised his flame, Dino learned the wizard game. [Bridge] Fire in the hallway, Fire in the bone, Three squid-faced horrors, Dino not alone. Leydrick called the healing, High Jinks brought the cold, Rigg’s shot rang like thunder, And the Flayer’s luck was sold. [Chorus] Red gate rising, red gate calls, Through the stars where silence falls. Sail it fast and sail it true, Mind Flayers waiting, hunting you. Red gate rising, red gate gleams, Past the wrecks and broken dreams. Chain by chain, spark by spark, We ride laughing through the dark. [Verse 4] One Flayer fled through folded air, Too near death to linger there. Alhoon stood with corpse-cold pride, Moon-Touched steel came in from the side. Dino shook the stun away, Cut the dark and won the day. Smoke rolled out, the ship lay still, But the red gate waited still. [Final Chorus] Red gate rising, red gate calls, Through the stars where silence falls. Q is gone and debts are due, There’s a stolen book to read through. Red gate rising, red gate gleams, Past the wrecks and broken dreams. Chain by chain, spark by spark, We ride laughing through the dark. [Outro] Oh-oh, the red gate’s rising, Oh-oh, the stars are cold. Oh-oh, the red gate’s rising, And the dark wants what we stole.
