Opening of the Gates

Morbid Angel

Opening the gates
These chains that have choked existence,
Have fallen away
This veil that has blinded eyes has been lifted
And now it is gone

And like the ways of the sheep
The flock has been bred only to receive
Lead to the gates of their enemy
Lead to the slaughter of their beliefs
And now their gazing eyes have turned
Turned to see us laughing

These fools who have thought
Us to be as they are
Have never truly seen
Guided by limited ways that they think,
They've called us blind and obscene

But now the sheep are wailing
Cries to a god they never see
While the gates are closing
Down upon all they have believed
And now their pleading eyes have turned,
Turned to see the eyes of the laughing

These ties that have bound these fools
To the ways of the blind,
Is ignorant bliss
Lies that were fed to the slumbering mass,
They've grazed upon it
And all that awaits men failing to see
Is the sight they've despised
The gates have now opened
Your religion has died.
