Key To The Gate Lyrics
My eyes are shut I cannot see
though clear is thy despair
I drift away - far away
from places of which you seek
Though I seek thy hell
yuo close the gate before me
Your life is right, and I'm to
follow to your paradise
I cannot fall in love
love is for them
Lusting for the sky -
Heaven
Why did I come to this world
of sorrow why is this true
Where is my dagger of sacrifice
I will open the gates to Hell one
day...
though clear is thy despair
I drift away - far away
from places of which you seek
yuo close the gate before me
Your life is right, and I'm to
follow to your paradise
love is for them
Lusting for the sky -
Heaven
of sorrow why is this true
Where is my dagger of sacrifice
day...

Varg is the only singer who can sound so angry and depressed at the same time. But I have no clue what he means with this song

This seems to deal with feelings of denial-'I cannot fall in love' perhaps he can't come to terms with emotions. He seeks hell at the start but gate is closed, and final line 'I will open the gates of hell one day' gives victory to the narrator. It's very hard not to look at this and not think of his fatal stabbing of Euronymous-'dagger of sacrifice' and of course the record store called Hell, also could be about suicidal feelings as the line before seems to reflect on certain emptyness. Nevertheless, it's quite a tune.
