Saint Peter’s Gate
|
I was lost in the dark
|
And the fear was in my heart
|
All around me the forest and the rain
|
Then with the flash of a light, I saw it in the night
|
I must be getting near — Saint Peter’s Gate!
|
When I went through the door, he was standing in the hall
|
An old man with a beard of shining white
|
He said «I've been expecting you, let me show you to your room»
|
And he took me all the way by candlelight
|
And lying there on the bed, a book, black & red
|
My name was written on the front in gold
|
And when I opened it up, there were pictures of my life
|
And a voice began to call from down below;
|
Nobody will get through, nobody
|
Not even you, can escape the Judgement Day
|
Nobody will be spared, Heaven is only there
|
For the ones who satisfy them at — Saint Peter’s Gate
|
«Come with me» said that old man, as he took me by the hand
|
«There is someone here that you have seen before
|
In this room on the left, a man who did his best
|
To bring joy and happiness to one and all;
|
But in that room on the right, a dictator in life
|
We’ve been waiting for him here, as you can tell
|
For all the blood he’s spilled
|
And for all the ones he’s killed
|
We condemn him to eternity in hell;
|
Nobody will get through, Nobody
|
Not even you, can escape the Judgement Day
|
Nobody will be spared, Heaven is only there
|
For the ones who satisfy them at — Saint Peter’s Gate
|
I woke up with the dawn, there was someone in my room
|
A woman, like an angel all in white
|
And then she told me «You must run, for your time has yet to come
|
Go now, before they change their minds»
|
And from the window I saw
|
A thousand or more
|
Bringing that dictator to his knees
|
And his cries broke the sound
|
Of my footsteps on the ground
|
As I made it to the safety of the trees:
|
Nobody will get through
|
Nobody not even you
|
Can escape the judgement day
|
Nobody will be spared
|
Heaven is only there
|
For the ones who satisfy them at…
|
Saint Peters Gate
|
Nobody will get through
|
Nobody not even you
|
Can escape the judgement day
|
Nobody will be spared
|
Heaven is only there
|
For the ones who satisfy them at
|
St Peters Gate |
