Quest For the Gate
Leave the gate open for me, smile don't flee
Cause the train waits for no one
The one who rings the bell, winds the clock as well
Time passes slowly like an uphill river
Stand and wait, ticket in silver
The one who sings, only loves alone
When the song stops, the train slows
The serpents strike, brings lesson's deep
Light springs forth from the sky below
Angel's strum harps of gold, clouds rumble red
Leave the gate open for me, smile don't fear
Train rolls across the badlands
Heart tears flood, days remembered long
Love flames burn dark passages deep
She who dances, waits for no prize
Darkness falls upon pages written
Lighting glows crackling, as thundering music wanders
Time sands spill, from mirrored fingers
Blue-black waters wash over cliff's of white
Spinning stars, meld into a stairway for one
Beacon's flash bringing pathways to sight
Flowing robes and angels wings
Crystalline eyes, voices so sweet
They've come to greet, my bleessed soul
Come! We've left the gate open for you.
