The world's in chaos
Puttin on a curtian show
A show for the burrowed children
Those hiding from bells tolling
But me I'm in at any rate.
Front and center.
Let me through the gates.

This love's in shambles
Pulled down to bare ruin
No, I have no plans to rebuild
Watching the buzzards eating
Swallowing all my love away
Fine and content
Let me through the gates.

My hearts not in solitary
Not when I left love for dead
It's cold now like hers
Cold as vacant pillows on the bed
I'm not alone, I'm with fate
Death Bardo and fire
Let me through the gates

My good nature all used up
Threw my baggage out the door
My possessions lie with the past
But memories burn a hole in the floor
She's got a great weight
Falling and to nowhere
Let me through the gates

Never asked to be born
I will stand bare naked
Waiting for the invitation
To the mountain he once bled
He can put me to waste
I'll wait patiently
Let me through the gates
