Hot Gates Lyrics
Here is no great thing, to stop and sing
Waiting for the rain
And this perfect pill, it's all too much
On the edge again
Don't look away
Couldn't help but note the coldest thing
In your precious face
Why do you always speak when you have no grace
In your precious face
But even in the dark I saw you were the only one alone
But these hot gates you spent your victory on
Though your swore you wouldn't do this anymore
And I can't be for you all of the things you want me to
But I will love you constantly
There's precious little else to me
And though we cry, we must stay alive
Another fragile edge, and a tender sound
And then you went aground
Near a duller blade, a promise out of sight
There's nothing here for you tonight
But even in the dark I saw you were the only one alone
But these hot gates you spent your victory on
Though your swore you wouldn't do this anymore
And I can't be for you all of the things you want me to
But I will love you constantly
There's precious little else to me
And though we cry, we must stay alive
Let my blood only run out when my world decides
There is no way out of your only life
So run on, run on!
Waiting for the rain
And this perfect pill, it's all too much
On the edge again
In your precious face
Why do you always speak when you have no grace
In your precious face
But these hot gates you spent your victory on
Though your swore you wouldn't do this anymore
And I can't be for you all of the things you want me to
But I will love you constantly
There's precious little else to me
And then you went aground
Near a duller blade, a promise out of sight
There's nothing here for you tonight
But these hot gates you spent your victory on
Though your swore you wouldn't do this anymore
And I can't be for you all of the things you want me to
But I will love you constantly
There's precious little else to me
Let my blood only run out when my world decides
There is no way out of your only life
So run on, run on!

Love this song...but what in the world are "hot gates"?
@mrmartyjones "hot gates" usually refers to a climax; as in when an ancient city were being attacked, the battle usually piqued at the city gates as the most crucial point for both sides to win. Also, these lyrics are wrong "at these hot gates you spit your vitriol though you swore you wouldn't do this anymore"

@mrmartyjones I wonder if it has to do with Thermopylae, the battle site of the 300. Translated, Thermopylae means "hot gates."

It has a few meanings I think one is the Greek translation witch is where the 300 Spartans deffended against the Persians it's a song to a friends encouraging him to fight that's where the gate reference comes in the 300 Spartans and hells gates
Hot Gates = the gates of hell
