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.
