The Doorway To Where

When we open up the door do you

anticipate the echoing reverb

Warps your perception with its rumble

Gazing upon the doorway to where

Gazing upon....

                      The doorway to where

 

Pulls you into its beautiful brilliance

sick recognition grips your mind slowly

Rip your eyes open to the terror

To know whats beyond the doorway to where

To know whats beyond....

                       The doorway to where

 

Curiosity eating away inside 

just to see beyond it 

An icon belonging to no one

god only knows who made it

Those who survive it are blinded

To know where it goes 

is to know where is where

Men forever have tried to control it

So whenever your there 

you better take care

don't get eatin alive by the doorway to where

The doorway to where

 

When we open up the door to you

you go where you go you don't have a say

Test fate by plunging yourself through the unknown

Stepping beyond the doorway to where

Stepping beyond....

                     The doorway to where

 

Shadows envelope you with a hunger

agonizing screaming falls on deaf ears

The silence that follows proves without error

Never is there beyond the doorway to where

Never is there.... 

                    Beyond the doorway to where

 

Upon your return 

your body falls to the earth 

mutilated beyond recognition

And now the story is told

your name is etched into stone

a warning to those who would question

As we walk away

a blank look on our faces

Theres no pity felt for your defiance

You were told not to go

still you gave up your soul 

condemned forever to roam beyond the doorway to where

The doorway to where
