"Gatekeeper" lyrics
(feat. Ryan Kirby)
But wh- you're gone, how are you... h-
You have no idea what the hell you've done, do you?
So you're the keeper hunting us, how? You died!
No no no no no
Let me tell you how I died
My life was taken by a man who could finally get the best of me
An occasion to rejoice; the spinning coin had finally dropped
Though I was not sent to Hell, I received a judgement far worse
I became a keeper of worlds; a just sentence for a life so cursed
In the time since passed I've been the keeper of gates
I've stopped catastrophes with the clap of my hands
I kept the worlds in balance, I've been pulling the strings
Heaven, Hell and Earth have been my marionette
What happens when there's no one to watch the gate?
When the strings are cut; no one's controlling fate?
When the artist is pushed in the midst of an act?
When three worlds collide, because I wasn't asked...
If I even want to be alive, if I want to be by your side
If I'm happy or if I'm dead inside
I'm sick of always being the one to blame
When you're the ones who's set this world aflame
The good are meant to die young, and the worst die last
You tried to stop the rain, but all you did was bring the storm
Like I'm a maestro conducting an orchestra
Where the angels play harps and the demons play strings
How fitting and awesome that would be to see
It's all kept in line, a balance of three
Worlds until this girl wants her love to come back home to her
He doesn't want it nor need it, but it's what she deserves
Forget Heaven, forget Hell, forget the balance of worlds
As long as we have each other it'll be 'til my death 'til us deter
The wolves are at the door
'Cause no one guarded the gate
Your ignorance and need for love has brought Hell upon us all
I'm contractually obliged to make sure that you suffer here
To repay my sins, for all the evil I've done
See I was meant to stay dead so the good can live
That's the price of pain, because you tried to stop the rain
'Cause you tried to stop the rain
"Do you know what you've done, or the damage you're about to cause
Through the collapse of worlds?
Now I can't even light, my own fucking cigarette...
Jay... I... I'm Sorry
Oh come on...
I ne- I never wanted this
Oh...
Julian listen to me!
Oh, for heaven's sake
Do you know what you've done?
Do you know what you've caused?
The price we'll pay, oh so great
(My worse side said it best)
A kingdom falls, as do we all
A kingdom falls, as do we all
There's acid in the rain
To dissolve us of all our sins
I said "God abandoned me"
But God abandoned us all
You have no idea what the hell you've done, do you?
So you're the keeper hunting us, how? You died!
No no no no no
Let me tell you how I died
My life was taken by a man who could finally get the best of me
An occasion to rejoice; the spinning coin had finally dropped
Though I was not sent to Hell, I received a judgement far worse
I became a keeper of worlds; a just sentence for a life so cursed
In the time since passed I've been the keeper of gates
I've stopped catastrophes with the clap of my hands
I kept the worlds in balance, I've been pulling the strings
Heaven, Hell and Earth have been my marionette
What happens when there's no one to watch the gate?
When the strings are cut; no one's controlling fate?
When the artist is pushed in the midst of an act?
When three worlds collide, because I wasn't asked...
If I even want to be alive, if I want to be by your side
If I'm happy or if I'm dead inside
