Beyond The Gates Lyrics - Dances Of Death (and Other Walking Shadows) - Mekong Delta

Time - passing as the world changed it's face 

Past - all that used to be not a trace 

Now - all that was is gone can't you see 

Always questions 

What - happened to our world different now 

Why - answers can't be found tell me how 

Now - dissolution is all I see 

As I meandered this world I saw strange faces 

I've seen some gastly bizarre phenomenon 

Such desolation and pain I can't describe it 

But always something was there that led me on 

Never saw place like this 

How can such a place exist 

Brotherhood of happiness 

Inviting me I can't resist 

How can such a thing exist 

Inviting me I can't resist 

Brotherhood of happiness 

Never saw place like this 

Never saw a... 

The priests gave us reason 

Brought hope to our season 

They gave us the will to servive 

It's healthy and clean here 

It's just like a dream here 

Just thank the priests you're alive 

I had a vision - then it was gone 

Something there I just can't put my finger on 

Crys - from the other side calling me 

Lies - message from beyond curse the priests 

Why - I don't understand 

Share the feast 

Cataclismic 

Dark - figures in the midst help denied 

Death - tightening it's fist no reply 

Rage - tell me what is this paradox 

And as the people all dance in celebration 

They seem so happy and so preoccupied 

Somehow I don't understand this fascination 

I think it all will be clear when I'm inside 

Where did all these priests come from 

What kind of men have you become 

Serve and never question why 

Worship Talons from the sky 

What lies beyong the golden gate 

A journey of uncertain fate 

Serve and never question why 

Serve and never question why 

Question why 

It's nicer that nice here 

A real paradise here 

It's really too good to believe 

There's growing in knowing 

And that's where I'm going 

The gates are prepared to receive, 

Receive - me
