The Gates

When I’m laid to rest in this dirt And I’m left to fall to my broken knees This world has shown me its teeth And it has fucking sunk them into me Go! Yeah! Take me away Who will open the gate for me? Who will open the gate? I spent forever restoring my faith to face the cold touch that nails me in place I still hold the weight of distaste and debt for my sin I guess I’ll piss in the wind (I spent forever restoring my faith) Rotten pale, push me away Nothing left of me result of decay A vessel with essence released Someday I know this mortal life will cease Don’t carry me wherever you go I’ll weigh you down, wicked painful and slow No remnants remain (No remnants remain) When I’m gone everything will be the same I stay indebted to my faith And I feel the blade of it’s ill intent This world descends on my back But I will not be broken again I will not be broken again Drop! (Who will open the gates?) Dragging me down, I’m gritting my teeth Won’t be defeated, I won’t retreat Take on anything and never back down No rest till you’re six feet in the ground And the rain falls around you, bitch No remnants remain (No remnants remain) When you’re gone everything will be the same This world has shown me it’s teeth and it has sunk them into me
