The Gate

They are guarding the gate
To challenge would be
A fatal mistake

No way out
No way in
Trapped from within
With the guilt of sin

There is no way out
Only through the gate
Monstrous figures
Stand ready, yet wait

No way out, only the gate
A voice in thought
Seems to state
The only way out
Is to rid of the hate
