Xstrophy Gates of Shame lyrics

Soul is tortured, burned out death, fake emotions, fake regrets
time is ticking, you're losing ground, lies are failing, truth is found
power struggle, overload, life is shattered, time to go
look into the eyes of the taker, stand up now and face your maker

I will see you at the gates, bow before me at the gates
soul surrendered at the gates, I'll be waiting at the gates

stand at the gate of shame, you sold your soul for fame
we will never change our ways, we are here to stay

hunger passion, pride and failure, forcing me to find new ways

life is flying full steam ahead, to give in now I must be dead
silent struggles, life's temptations, fight back now it's your salvation
I will see you through the battle, the gates together we will shatter
wait is over, time is up, behind you now the gate was shut
see the fire, take your stone, life is over, you're alone

fought together, the battles shown, another life shame has grown
now soon they'll make the granite tomb
the words are carved, here lies you
