Across all time, on the edge of tomorrow
Death came to call, show no sorrow
Reaper in black, take me away from here
Lead me now, the journey holds no fear
Shut my eyes, and open to clarity
Before me stands, the gates of eternity

Keepers of soul, and strange memory
At the gates!
Resistant to time, immortal sentries
At the gates!
Sinners to hell, eternal misery
At the gates!
Martyrs and saints, holy delivery
At the gates!

The gates hang closed, perfect asymmetry
The guardians wait, pass judgement on me
Hell's minion in black, fire eyes burn through
Finger points at me, in my heart I knew
Figure of white, follower of heavens light
Flame in the dark, warrior against the night
Visions of life, dance before my eyes
Recalling who I was, before I died

For good and bad, some happy some sad
Final judgement, on the life I had
Keepers of soul, and strange memory
At the gates!
Resistant to time, immortal sentries

At the gates!
Sinners to hell, eternal misery
At the gates!
Martyrs and saints, holy delivery
At the gates!
As I reflect, on a life of memories
I see the truth, offered to me
The gates swing shut as I enter eternity!
