Gateways Lyrics

The core principle of freedom
Is the only notion to obey
The formula of evolution and sin
Leading the way

The rebirth is near completion
As we slowly awaken from slumber
As we slowly awaken from slumber

The malpractice of the spirit ends
Gateways!
When the gift is once again attained
Gateways!
No rules or restraints are longer valid
Gateways!
When the ancient future is reclaimed
Gateways!

No rules or restraints are longer valid
Gateways!
When the ancient future is reclaimed
Gateways!

It's all there for the eye that can see
The blind ones will always suffer in secrecy
For it is the omen
Of what lies submerged - breeding
Untouched within us - bleeding

The core principle of freedom
Is the only notion to obey
The formulae of evolution and sin
Leading the way

The rebirth is near completion
As we slowly awaken from slumber
To receive the light that shines in darkness
The light that shines forevermore
Forevermore!

Be the broken or the breaker
Be the giver or the undertaker
Unlatch and open the doors
Be the healer or the faker
The keys are in your hands
Realize you are your own sole creator
Of your own masterplan

Be the broken or the breaker
Be the giver or the undertaker
Unlatch and open the doors
Be the healer or the faker
The keys are in your hands
Realize you are your own sole creator
Of your own masterplan!

Farbeyond, I only did the last verse. I think your lyrics sound mostly right, except for "Realize you are the source of all creation"....she's pretty clear in that part and says "Realize you are your own sole creator". She doesn't say "the source" at all. She says 'sole' like "so-ohl" in two parts like that. But great job on the rest of the song.

farbeyond, i don't agree with your lyrics. if you listen to the song hes not actually saying that

This song deals with the subject of astral planes (a plane of existence postulated by classical, medieval, oriental & esoteric philosophies and mystery religions). The Divine Comedy a book by author/poet Dante Alighieri comes to mind (Dante's heavens & hells symbolized the astral spheres and their associated virtues & vices).

My Interpretation

farbeyond has it right for the most part, but it he definitely says "GATEWAYS" not "CAN'T ARISE"

@FarBeyond: I have the CD booklet at home, and it's actually in front of me right this minute, and I'm afraid your lyrics do not correspond with what's written in my booklet.

I agree with the line "Realize you are your own sole creator" and not with "the source of all creation" or whatever crap that was. The whole song is based on the belief of Egotheism, which is the deification of oneself and or the belief that all life is formed from a collective energy (a "God" if you will). Instead of a divine being creating each life, that particular life chose to break away from the energy thus "creating" itself and by lesser terms making itself it's own creator and "God". As the song also mentions Egotheism also means that having also created yourself willingly, you have predetermined your life and existence before you were "born" (this is what is commonly referred to as Destiny). Hope this helps enlighten those curious about the meanings of this song. But all in all a very good song.

hahaha, why would someone submit only the last verse? Desperate to be the first to post lyrics or something? Pretty fucking retarded.

These lyrics are wrong.

Here:

The cruel origins of freedom Have longed the notion to die This door will allow evolution of sins Bringing new way The rebirth is the year of completion As we slowly awaken from slumber As we slowly awaken from slumber

The men break this and the spirit ends Can't arise While the gift is hard to get acclaimed Can't arise No rules are restraints on our new planet Can't arise While the ancient future is reclaimed Can't arise No rules are restraints on our new planet Can't arise While the ancient future is reclaimed Can't arise

Its all there for the eyes that can see The blind ones will always suffer in secrecy Praise the omen oh what lives have (perished/purged) And have been true to us

The cruel origins of freedom Have longed the notion to die This door will allow evolution of sins Bringing new way The rebirth is the year of completion As we slowly awaken from slumber Till we see the light that shines in darkness The light that shines forever more Forever more

Be the broken or the breaker Be the giver or the undertaker Unlock and open the door Be the healer or the breaker The keys are in your hands Realize you are the source of all creation Of your own master plan Be the broken or the breaker Be the giver or the undertaker Unlock and open the door Be the healer or the breaker The keys are in your hands Realize you are the source of all creation Of your own master plan

dude he say "gateways" 1.) YOUR

Are you retarded?

Uhhh, no dude. That's completely wrong. Brandino has it right. I have no idea where you got that crap, I guess that's your own interpretation, but it's wrong.
