Abraxas Gates To Eden Lyrics

Gates To Eden Lyrics

[Music: Mindner, Mìller, Klauke, Rohner; Lyrics: Klauke]



[Verse 1:]

Outside the rain is falling

The moon stands pale and cold

Somewhere the clock strikes midnight

six ours left to go

Justice says I'm guilty but is this really true?

Governor shows no mercy now the chair waits for me



[Bridge 1:]

I got a dream a long time ago

Visions of my life

Terrible deeds I saw in that night

violence crime and lies!



[Refrain:]

There are signs in the sky

tomorrow the day I must die

Lord stand by me on my last way!

(The) circle is closed and the visions turned to truth

Now I'm on my way to the gates of Eden



[Verse 2:]

Sometimes I feel anger about my own life

I wouldn't see the danger in those days

Steps outside the celldoor coming close to me

Sunbeams of the rising dawn makes me fear!



[Bridge 2:]

I got a dream a long time ago

Visions of my life

Terrible deeds I saw in that night

violence crime and lies!



[Bridge 3:]

Cold sweat is flowing slowly down on my back

The sands of times are running there's no turning back

The priest reads the last writes guardian stands beside

My blood runs faster now it's time to die!



[Bridge 4:]

Now I'm leavin' up to another world

Maybe a better place to live maybe to sleep



[Bridge 5:]

Tears rollin' down on my cheeks as my life drifts before me

I'm afraid of the coming but no one can hear my silent cries



[Bridge 6:]

Goodbye Mama goodbye my love

Goodbye to the rest of all

The time is right for the last farewell

Stop from cryin' hide your tears 

I'm not worth for all those fears

Send me a smile before I walk away



[Bridge 7:]

My heart is drummin' as they lead me to the chair

The smilin' face of death - I see everywhere

Hangman comes closer

Last cigarette I can smoke

Than he will take the switch to turn my life off



[Bridge 1:]

I got a dream a long time ago

Visions of my life

Terrible deeds I saw in that night

violence crime and lies!



[Refrain:]

There's a sign in the sky now it's the hour to die

Lord stand by me on my last way!

(The) circle is closed and the visions turned to truth

Ready to pass the gates of Eden
