The Gates

Oh, my eyes have seen destruction of hopes and dreams the sun has set for the last time How can I last through my struggles when I know that this burden is my own yet, I have seen the strength from within me still grows growing away all that I love and call my own I’m waking up To brighter days what we can now call our own is now mine again

we’re burning destroying our lives have become tortured and bothered by whats been going on reaching and grabbing for dreams of returning to have our dreams interupted by alarms this is the end we’ve gone away we’re falling back to earth return to earth return to earth and we’re running in circles again we’re running in circles and we’re running in circles again thinking big but doing so small if this is the way that we’re living then why should we live at all? my life is mine i’m working towards not ever having to work my life is mine my life is mine waking up to feel the pressure this is what i’ve never wanted close your eyes and sleep it all off I’ve given up my dreams for this so called life which I’ll never be happy living in this so called life which I’ll never be happy living in I’ll carry on put on my tie and fake up my smile I’ll carry on so watch me fake it I’d like for nothing more then to live a day of peace with no care in sight just this life of mine I’d like for nothing more then to spit in your fucking face with no care in mind this is not a dream this is not a dream this is not a dream this is cruel reality it’s everything it seems. I’ve been a sinking ship I’ve been a fucking wreck Lie to me, tell me I matter through the clouds we’ve crashed on down our wings are shattered.

a nation contested under god, under us all what it means is not to be decided by one but by the masses reaching out what it means is not to be decided by one but by the masses reaching out those without a voice shall be audible those without a voice shall be audible and as bodies burn for causes we regret they sit back and laugh. they sit back and laugh at your faults and differences they sit back and laugh they just laugh at those who dont share fortunes like they do our lives are run by it but we are breaking through getting rich off of your son’s blood taking life from the youth of america getting rich off of your son’s blood taking life from the youth of america Ride, because tonight is the night the roots grow deep watered by the blood of patriots The rising tide the rising tide the rising tide the rising tide will wash you away. hearing all your differences and laughing all these years no more feeding to the vultures preying on your fears I’ve grown tired of propaganda brainwashing minds of those who are weak and sending signs of hope, believe this is the ending love is dead love is dead our last stand for the life of man who will be saved?

I find it hard to say that your American dream is just a fantasy it’s just a fantasy It’s just a fantasy despite all our advances it’s just a fantasy drying,my tears run out and leave beds of action crying, the screams of doubt lead to the fearless reactions of our world there’s such a burden upon my shoulders that leads me to believe responsibility is mine contradictions and hypocrisy are ripping apart what we have worked for we are the sons marching towards days of dignity we are the sons the sons of liberty this is the worst of whats to come the days go unending until dawn the nights seem like sleepless eternities awake to new days where hope still remains go. is this your world? this isn’t my america through hundreds of sleepless nights we’ve come to terms with our fates. these are the times that will try all our souls whats left of what they started? of us all? the struggles we face are hard and their fierce blazing a path that needs to be cleared reaching for new beginnings look to the sky for answers from prophets and saviors realize that no one or nothing can save you hope is all we have through all of our struggles we’ve come to terms with our fate

the line is drawn you lie through teeth and dead eyes if I’d have known, I’d be pulling knives from my back why must I be the reciever? why can’t I be dishing it out? I hear your lies through gates and recievers they’re not working anymore as you meet your maker walk through the gates and see your running out out of lies running out out of time you seem to hurt those around you turning decency into deception the jokes on you you will never again return to peace in your life of hell the jokes on you, you will never again find an ounce of peace in your life of hell. You deserve the life you’ve got you fucked up and it’s all your fault I won’t forget what you’ve done and the pain you’ve caused the worst pain in the world is the pain that you feel when your friends are gone I hope you choke on words, don’t spill a drop I hope you fucking hate the life you’ve got. Who I am will always be who I am. How can you even fucking think that I would let this slide again? I’m moving onward We’ll never speak again the taste of your words on my tounge tastes so much like betrayal the last time in my life that i look like a fool for you the gates will open up and the depths of hell will swallow you In words and in text you spread lies and deceit The life that you live will be yours to keep reaching and grabbing at you from beneath your words and your lies won’t allow you to breathe Through lessons and scriptures, you sow, you must reap the gates of redemption will not let you sleep and in time your fate will be mine your whole life will be remembered as lies you mean nothing to me I’m everything that you’ll never be you mean nothing to me The gates swing open and you'll find you're running out out of lies running out out of time I was trying to be I was trying to be I was trying to be I was trying to be your everything.

I’ve seen it all becoming becoming something new the dreams we once had fade away but this is who we are our warlike nature through years of moral struggle we are desensitized our eyes have seen so much that should not be seen. I’ve looked for answers from the ones from above the sun will always set and if it sets on us before we are ready we’ll see it rise again it will rise as long as we keep faith with our eyes we have seen so much hate I cannot picture this ending well for us but it always works out in the end this was a mistake. it was a mistake. our world has become plagued but it won’t stick the winds of change will come to revive our eyes have seen the glory of what we can do we must be strong and resist the urge of giving in the sun will set, the sky will rain. but we have persisted the worst of all the storms if we give up right now our lives will never end we will be burdened with the guilt of failure then the sun will glare down causing fire in our eyes the winds will blow and make the sound of nature’s cries we must repair we must be civil and as I open my eyes a new day has dawned offering us a chance to start over but we are stuck in the ways of the past we are still burdened by the hate in our hearts and with that hate we turn our world into a living hell we wake to fire and images of life in a cell we feel remorse but we always try to justify our rebirth cannot start until we fucking die I’ll fight and I’ll stand and I’ll be a bigger man I’ll fight and I’ll stand and I’ll be a bigger man I’LL FIGHT AND I’LL STAND AND I’LL BE A BIGGER MAN I’LL FIGHT AND I’LL STAND AND I’LL BE A BIGGER MAN
