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
