While She Sleeps - GATES OF PARADISE Lyrics

At the gates of paradise
Waiting for our names to be called from above
There's an angel inside of us
If you turn a blind eye and trust that
I'll be better this time around

You can do anything you wanna fucking do
The rules were made to be disputed by the truth
Did no one tell you to let go of the reins?
Did no one tell you they manipulate?

Send out the press, tell 'em have it for nothing
Feast like a savage would on its casualty
Inform the masses that
This is what you get when you don't break the habit
We breed the selfish, abandon what good and bad really meant

At the gates of paradise
Waiting for our names to be called from above
There's an angel inside of us
If you turn a blind eye and trust that
I'll be better this time around

You can do anything you wanna fucking do
The rules were made to be disputed by the truth
Did no one tell you to let go of the reins?
Did no one tell you they manipulate?

Safe to say we'll never know
How it would've been if it was to go
Are we better off on our own?

At the gates of paradise
Waiting for our names to be called from above
There's an angel inside of us
If you turn a blind eye and trust that
I'll be better this time around

Can you feel it caressing around you every nerve?
It's too late for resolve, we're not long for this world
We're digging deeper like a parasite
It's time to wake up while we're still alive

You're only listening 'cause no one's got anything better to say
We're still singing, "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me"
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah

Hate to say we're biding our time
Are you past the point of no return?
Do your symptoms leave you satisfied?
We've got demons buried deep inside

We've got everyone to follow
But there's no one left to walk with
The shallow path of honesty residing in our promise
And this will haunt us always
Waking from the truth we lie in mourning

Safe to say we'll never know
How it would've been if it was to go the other way
I like to say we're better off on our own
Safe to say we'll never know
How it would've been if it was to go the other way
I like to say we're better off on our own

Safe to say we'll never know
How it would've been if it was to go the other way
I like to say we're better off on our own
Safe to say we'll never know
How it would've been if it was to go the other way
I like to say we're better off on our own
