St Peters Gate

Em                            D  
So time has reached its tireless 
        C
goal

C                               D
Ahead outstretched my path 
      Em
unfolds

Em               D               C
Down into the depths of hell

C                        D       
I've seen enough, I might as well
       Em


Through the circles of fire and 
stone
To the castle of blood and bone
Lucifer in all his power
Awaits me in my judgment hour


Em                          D    
Believe right now it's not too 
       C
late

C                       D         
I'll meet you at St Peter's Gate
 Em


Into the forest I begin
Where the beasts feast on skin
The brittle leaves are black not 
green
The mark of St Augustine

I meet them here, the poets in men
And the crimes for which they can't 
defend
They say "eternity can't be that bad
I've lost every love I've ever had"

Believe right now it's not too late
I'll meet you at St Peter's Gate

To sea, the blood of sin
We shed our rags and dive right in
And sink beneath the waves of fire
And feel our innocence expire

For I've done more wrong than I've 
done right
I saw the darkness devour the light
You cannot save this weary soul
Your every deed will take its toll

Believe right now it's not too late
I'll meet you at St Peter's Gate

How can I just accept this fate
I'll meet you at St Peter's Gate

Ahead the castle's fiery moat
We're seeing all the lost souls 
float
Across the bridge of tangled bones
Into a world the darkness owns
