Gates Will Open

“As long as the beast lives the battle wages”
Keeping us locked in our own personal cages
Feeding it with our impure desires
Grants him the power to form his empire
Bars made of iron, locks made of steal
This enemy makes us believe this is real
But when you have love that is beyond what you’re feeling
The truth is what brings bread, our emotional healing
Each word confessed unlocks our cells
Sending all bondage back to hell
Every time you surrender to the great divine
Your youth is restored and you’ll see wonders and signs
So take out your sword and slay each root
For in due time you will produce the sweetest fruit
Never give up, even if you fall
For no prison cell can stop Gods original call
When the gates open and you fly away free
Remember who granted these wings unto thee,
Remember who grated these wings unto thee.
