I was lost in the dark,
|
And the fear was in my heart,
|
All around me the forest and the rain,
|
Then with the flash of a light, I saw it in the night,
|
I must be getting near - Saint Peter's Gate!
|
|
When I went through the door, he was standing in the hall,
|
An old man with a beard of shining white,
|
He said "I've been expecting you, let me show you to your room",
|
And he took me all the way by candlelight,
|
And lying there on the bed, a book, black & red,
|
My name was written on the front in gold,
|
And when I opened it up, there were pictures of my life,
|
And a voice began to call from down below;
|
|
Nobody will get through, nobody,
|
Not even you, can escape the Judgement Day,
|
Nobody will be spared, Heaven is only there,
|
For the ones who satisfy them at - Saint Peter's Gate.
|
|
"Come with me" said that old man, as he took me by the hand
|
"There is someone here that you have seen before,
|
In this room on the left, a man who did his best,
|
To bring joy and happiness to one and all;
|
|
But in that room on the right, a dictator in life,
|
We've been waiting for him here,as you can tell,
|
For all the blood he's spilled,
|
And for all the ones he's killed,
|
We condemn him to eternity in hell;
|
|
Nobody will get through, Nobody,
|
Not even you, can escape the Judgement Day,
|
Nobody will be spared,Heaven is only there,
|
For the ones who satisfy them at - Saint Peter's Gate.
|
|
I woke up with the dawn, there was someone in my room,
|
A woman, like an angel all in white,
|
And then she told me "You must run, for your time has yet to come,
|
Go now, before they change their minds",
|
|
And from the window I saw,
|
A thousand or more,
|
Bringing that dictator to his knees,
|
And his cries broke the sound,
|
Of my footsteps on the ground,
|
As I made it to the safety of the trees:
|
|
Nobody will get through,
|
Nobody not even you,
|
Can escape the judgement day,
|
Nobody will be spared,
|
Heaven is only there,
|
For the ones who satisfy them at...
|
Saint Peters Gate.
|
|
Nobody will get through,
|
Nobody not even you,
|
Can escape the judgement day,
|
Nobody will be spared,
|
Heaven is only there,
|
For the ones who satisfy them at,
|
St Peters Gate.
