[Lyric] At the Gates (28 Seasons)

As a child
I would dream
Before my sleep
It brought to life
A better time, a vision
Of where to begin down


This darkened path that
Hides beneath the growth
Each day a changing shape
Now clearer as we go…


Hiding as the daylight breaks
Keeping in mind
All the first times
I clenched my fist
Scraped a knee
I turned around
I changed my mind
I fell in love
I fell behind
In spite of all that called me down

This daunting path compels me
To fulfill my mold
Sinking further quicksand
I reach for a stone
(to take mе away)


So it goes
My love for this world
I’m left with this itch in my mind
And I can’t seem to scratch
What’s insidе
This turmoil is soiled
So I’m turning the page
I’m standing at the gates
And I can’ wait to find
What’s inside


The desert floor
I’ve felt before
Shake beneath my feet
The ground that breaks
Through the heat that bakes
I’ll let my ego drag me down

This haunting past compels me
To fulfill my mold
Kicking, grasping in quicksand
I reach for a stone
(to take me away)


So it goes
My love for this world
I’m left with this itch in my mind
And I can’t seem to scratch
What’s inside
This turmoil is soiled
So I’m turning the page
I’m standing at the gates
And I can’ wait to find
What’s inside
