At The Gates

When I did what I was told I thought I'd be

A better person than what I turned out to be

Sacrosanct in the sacred society

What's working for you

Wasn't working for me

Now I live each day as if it were my last

Learning lessons from the sins of futures past

Death rattle shaking there's a knock at the door

Laid out on the floor

Now I wait, at the gate

Now I wait at the final gate

Tell me what my fate is as I stand at the gate?

You're the rebel when you stood on mountains high

Sentimental now that it's your time to die

In the middle of your precious plans and schemes

It's looking to me

Like they don't mean a thing

Never gave a thought of what you put them through

Never stopped to think the problem came from you

Grim reaper calling I think you know what he's after

Hanging from the rafters

Now you wait

Moon is full, stars are bright, seems like the fates have aligned

Now you wait At the final gate

Sun is high, cloudless sky, looks like a good day to die

The walls are closing in don't know where to begin

As I wait at the gate

The bell it tolls for me, tell me how this can be, as I wait, as I wait at the gate.

Now I wait at the gate

Now I wait at the final gate

Moon is full, stars are bright

Seems like the fates are aligned

Sun is high, cloudless sky

Looks like a good day to die

Hello your life is calling and now your skies are falling.
