Through The Blue Gates

By the blue blue gates Two tall bird-headed guards Are watching me carefully Bow and spear in each hand shining plates On the blue blue gates There are golden lions and dragons And bulls and battle scenes Behind them my new life awaits! I've never been here before And yet I know this place The sacred marble floor The cool breeze of change on my face Where gods and kings reside I have a date with fate The old is left behind My soul shines again unchained Through the blue blue gates Barefoot in dirty rags I'm strolling in silence and awe At ornaments and statues I gaze Through the blue blue gates In lapis lazuli As rubies and emeralds glow My battle-worn heart awakes I've never been here before And yet I know this place The sacred marble floor The cool breeze of change on my face Where gods and kings reside I have a date with fate The old is left behind My soul shines again unchained I have a date with fate I have a date with fate There is no going back Never was never will be and the guards will keep track So I may as well forget All the dirt and resentment and bitter regret I'm on a date with fate I'm already in all the second thoughts are too late The rite of passage calls On me to be unafraid Through the blue blue gates Through the blue blue gates Through the blue blue gates I'm walking softly but eagerly Picking up my pace Behind them my new life awaits! I've never been here before And yet I know this place The sacred marble floor The cool breeze of change on my face Where gods and kings reside I have a date with fate The old is left behind My soul shines again unchained I've never been here before And yet I know this place The sacred marble floor The cool breeze of change on my face Where gods and kings reside I have a date with fate The old is left behind My soul shines again unchained I'm on a date with fate I'm already in it's never too late The rite of passage calls On me to be unafraid Where gods and kings reside I'll walk a path I can confide All-new beyond the blue blue gate My soul shines again unchained I'm on a date with fate Excited eager I can't wait To peel the veil to know to feel To live and love unafraid Where gods and kings reside I'll walk a path I can confide All-new beyond the blue blue gate My soul shines again unchained
