about

This track was chosen to open the album to, right away, present the proposal of the new work.
While the progressive and melodic characteristics of Ivory Gates are maintained, it is also possible to notice that the band is heavier and more direct.
Even though it's a long song - about seven and a half minutes - and complex, there's no overplaying, making it easy to listen.

“It's my favorite song on Behind the Wall and maybe in our entire discography.
Here you can find all the elements that we put on previous albums: guitar openings, synchronized bass and drums, striking chorus and, consequently, an almost complete mix of our main influences.”
(Matheus Armelin – Guitars)

“Personally, I used a lot of references to bring a hint of suspense and tension to the pre-chorus, like a narrator who participates in a scene, observing and commenting on the fateful verdict.”
Felipe Travaglini – Vocal)

lyrics

The Book of Life

Here, in this world, below
Where the dark prevails and the madness grows
In this world, below
You can feel the fear deep inside your soul
Sinner awake - the hours is late
Your trial has begun
The court is in session, time to decide - Nothing is left behind
A deal with the devil you can´t deny - all is revealed
The legions of demons, inside your head
whisper the songs of the dead
Away from the light and into the night
Your name won’t be found in the black book of life
Down here, in this world beyond
In the black domains where the madness grows
In your final hour
You will find your soul in the lake of fire
The judgement goes on, in darkness you wait - Trapped for a thousand years
All that you sowed, now you will reap - you'll pay for your sins
The legions of demons, inside your head
whisper the songs of the dead
Away from the light and into the night
Your name won’t be found in the black book of life
Sinner awake - the hours is late
The end has begun
Too late for regrets, standing alone - You hear the hammer fall
Decision is made, you're fading away - Into the blackest of nights
The legions of demons, inside your head
whisper the songs of the dead
Away from the light and into the night
Eternal damnation
