Gates To Eden Lyrics - Singles - Abraxas

[Music: Mindner, Mller, 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
