Can you hear the sound? Can you hear the nightmares That rise beneath the ground? You can feel the sorrow And you can feel the pain Know there's no tomorrow You'll never love again The skies are filled with blood The sun no longer rises But no one understood The final tribulation The Heavens take their fall Experience Hell's sensation Satan standing tall War between the powers Fury in the skies Heaven fights the dragon With evil in its eyes Tribulation In love with Satan Desecration Come to Salem Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide The power of darkness is waiting inside As the Heavens fall down Hell will survive The serpent of death devours your life 4.

Only time will tell Pendulum will swing Manifesting screams Oppression will prevail Lower the window's veil March to die, die, die, die 5. Phantasm [Music - LL Lyrics - JB] Welcome to your funeral Your life has just begun Lie in the hearse Into the morgue Where the dead unite as one Into the shrine you fall Hear the dead, they call Angel of the damned Walks with me, hand in hand Fly through the night which has no end Into the land where you're condemned Messiah from the grave Lead the corpse from hell Behold the morbid saint Come forth from whence you fell As you walk through the valley of death Phantasia waits for your last breath The demons stride with the Devil's bride Rest in peace Phantom, spread your wings As the black coven sings Eyes which mesmerize From the crypts they rise 6.

Never ones to think twice about flirting with supernatural evil forces, San Francisco's Possessed scheduled their second album, Beyond the Gates, to be released on Halloween, !

Maybe they should have been a little more wary, as the recording that should have built upon the solid foundation laid down by the previous year's genre-forming debut Seven Churches still regarded as one of death metal's inaugural cornerstones , wound up coming as a disappointment to most critic and fans alike.

Verily, in most every observer's eyes, Beyond the Gates represented an almost indefensible step backwards; transforming a sound previously distinguished for its inexorable power into a ragged, decidedly weaker-kneed replacement. Perhaps the record's feeble production was to blame, although it's hard to lay the blame entirely on experienced producer Carl Canedy in light of his previous triumphs with Anthrax and Overkill.

More likely, it was a combination of difficulties: poor funding, rushed recording conditions, questions over musical direction, and simple lack of preparedness all common problems for starving, under-pressure-to-deliver extreme metal bands that doused the flames in disappointing efforts like "Tribulation," the title track, and the simply god-awful "The Beasts of the Apocalypse. But, taken as a whole, there was no denying that Beyond the Gates packed nowhere near the consistency, inventiveness and, most importantly, eventual influence of its predecessor, signaling the beginning of Possessed's inevitable decline.
