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
