Saint Peters 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 Peters Gate!
~#**************#~
When I went through the door, he was standing in the hall
~#**************#~
An old man with a beard of shining white
~#**************#~
He said “Ive 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 Peters 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
~#**************#~
Weve been waiting for him here,as you can tell
~#**************#~
For all the blood hes spilled
~#**************#~
And for all the ones hes 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 Peters 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
