lyrics

Bolted gates

Behind the locked and bolted gates
Within the bounds of paradise
We’re sleeping prisoners of fate
Dreaming about another life
Beyond the locked and bolted gates
Out in the wilderness alone
The spectres can’t communicate
The secrets that they gently moan
Forget that we don’t understand
Forget the shadows of the war
Forget we live in foreign land
Forget death and his gaping jaw
Above the locked and bolted gates
Stands the angel’s burning sword
The prisoners and spectres wait
To die to live and be reborn
Beneath the locked and bolted gates
Buried lies the jet-black stone
Containing dreams of strangest fate
For all together each alone
Imagine as they understand
Imagine as the circle turns
Imagine as they come to land
Imagine death and life and yearn
