Not the Gates

Struggling against these chains
Trapped in this dark hell
Ignore the cries for help
Ignore the prayers for death

There are no faces
In the darkness
Awaiting my turn
To be a carcass

Dragged from my cell, kicking, screaming
Please dear God don't take me to the gates

Thrashing against these chains
Blinded by the light
Ignore the roaring crowd
Ecstasy in their eyes

All the faces
All the smiles
The dead are waiting
To be defiled

Dragged from my cell, kicking, screaming
Please dear God, don't take me
Forced to my knees, begging, pleading
Please dear God, don't put me on the gates

Not the Gates
Not the Gates
Not the Gates
Not the Gates

All the faces
Here are grinning
My life, my eyes
It is beginning

Ripped from my neck, dripping, bleeding
Oh dear God, I'm still alive
Blinded by tar, dying, fleeing
My head is placed atop the city gates
