Gates of Eden
Back

Songs Lyrics

Im standing at the edge of night
Where everything returns to light
I try to see beyond my site
But nothing can pass through - the Gates of Eden

And every dawn must meet the dusk
And all that lives must turn to dust
Even you and me and all of us
And nothing can pass through - the Gates of Eden

And lovers try but love gets lost
And all the saints get double crossed
While dreamers sail their ships get tossed
And buried underneath - the Gates of Eden

And visions fade and heros fall
And I wonder in the end if even any one of them
Has seen beyond this wall

And birds will sing but not for long
A wind will come and they'll be gone
And every paradise become a Babylon
And nothing can reach beyond - the Gates of Eden

And all the promises we made
The cornerstones that we both laid
Are twisted now and then renamed
But nothing can replace - the Gates of Eden

Chorus
