Evans And Stokes : Beyond the Gates
Lyrics
1. ALONE I LIE
Sleep
Is my only escape
Wait for oblivion
Time
Sucks out life as I lie
Alone now
I am friendless
Match alight
I lit the fire
Burning bridges
Bit the hand
That leads to home
To feed my weakness
Take, take
For me alone
Alone I'm lyin'
Cut the cord
The weak will fall
Alone I'm dyin'
Faults overtake me
No strength to contain them
My dreams for a good life
No will to attain them
No consequence heeded
I'm friendless and nameless
Alone I lie
In this
Bed of my making
Broken friendships
And endless lies
Walked away
With no goodbyes
Alone I'm dyin'
Faults overtake me
No strength to contain them
My dreams for a good life
No will to attain them
No consequence heeded
I'm friendless and nameless
Alone I lie
In this
Bed of my making
Reap the harvest
Of every vice
Piper called
I paid the price
Alone I'm lyin'
Alone I lie
Alone I lie
Alone I lie
2. MY LULLABY
A precious thing, a hopeful dream
And then it's gone, it's too late
Life has passed, without living
Now I'm aware, and I feel the weight
Opportunities lost, in a mindless daze
Alive, but not awake
My Lullaby, awake but dreamin' through life
A fallen mind, driven to the darker side
My Lullaby, innocence and evil collide
An empty life
Born for freedom, your right to possibility
But life's temptation, your soul is bleedin'
Devil teases wants what he can get
Wakeful sleeper blindly lets him in
making decisions without using my head
My life, My Lullaby
My Lullaby, awake but dreamin' through life
A fallen mind, driven to the darker side
My Lullaby, innocence and evil collide
An empty life
Devil tempts you, to walk the wrong road
Again he taunts you, your innocence his one goal
Devil teases wants what he can get
Wakeful sleeper blindly lets him in
Making decisions without using my head
My life, My Lullaby
My Lullaby, awake but dreamin' through life
A fallen mind, driven to the darker side
My Lullaby, innocence and evil collide
An empty life
Life has passed, without living
Now I'm aware, and I feel the weight
Opportunities lost, in a mindless daze
Alive, but not awake
3. DEFY THE DEMONS
This life
Is broken
There's no way...out
'Cause I can't defy the demons
Sweetness
Then everything turned sour
I lost my way
Beauty
Now stolen
A price to pay
For choices made
That I can't justify
Desperate times
Desperate days
Desperate lies
Medicate my way
Everything is fine
Wasted
And broken
Shooting stars to pass the time
No will to just defy
'Cause I can't defy my demons
Desperate times
Desperate days
Desperate lies
Medicate my way
Everything is fine
These demons
These demons
They always bring me down
4. THE DEVIL'S RIDE
Temptation
Will greet you
It's seeking you out
Your weakness
Will lead you
Along the path where the villains dwell
Your actions are leading you blindly
You sin,
But you don't recognize it
You know the Devil is calling you out
He's calling you out
You're wretched
Fallen
Stuck by the Devil's side
Your demon's
Come a callin'
Take you place on the Devil's ride
Your courage
Defeated
You see no way out
In anger
You greeted
the savage fiend you know so well
Your dreams have been lost to your demon
Unclean
You're broken. You're bleeding
You're wretched
Fallen
Stuck by the Devil's side
Your demon's
Come a callin'
Take you place on the Devil's ride
Have mercy!
Have mercy!
You're wretched
Fallen
Stuck by the Devil's side
Your demon's
Come a callin'
Take you place on the Devil's ride
5. SADNESS
Oh this sadness, it's just madness
I can't let it go
Oh in the silence, of this sadness
Where dreams don't go
And I don't know what to do
And I don't know that to say
To make this sadness go away
And my heart has been pulled in
By the shades that sorrow brings
To these scars of pain
Oh whoas
It's in these shadows
That sadness takes its hold
6. PSALM 23
(Instrumental)
7. KINGDOM
A life of sin and greed, weighs heavy on my mind
Then Gabriel appeared to fight a battle for my life
He said
Come, come in
Your soul wants for forgiveness
Come feel the breath of God
And live
But I can't forget these things I've done
My malignant soul be damned
Oh the Kingdom of Heaven, won't let me in
The guilt I feel won't purge me of my many sins
I'm lost to the Kingdom
Deserving of disgrace
I'm lost to the Kingdom
Oh the Kingdom of Heaven, won't let me in
The guilt I feel won't purge me of my many sins
I'm lost to the Kingdom
These chains of sin and greed
No force will unbind
So Angels battle with my sins
As I battle with my mind
To walk among the damned
In this unholy place
Or seek forgiveness for my sins
And accept his holy grace
I'm lost to the Kingdom
Unworthy of his grace
No rest for the wicked
In this unholy Godforsaken place
8. IN YOUR SILENCE
Your silence and trust is your strength
Your silence and your trust is your strength
Your silence and your trust is your strength
You're your own worst enemy
You cast away from me
Had light, but loved the dark
You speed to your own grave
Your own worst enemy
You cast away from me
Had light, but loved the dark
That leads to your doom
But He will fight
While you keep silent
He will fight
While you sleep
In your silence
And in your trust
You will find Him
9. ANGEL EYES
He sees my stain, but makes me clean
Sees my strength, but makes me weak
Brings me down
Lifts me up
I'm nothing
I'm nothing; I'm everything!
And now I...
And now I am His
Angel eyes they master me
Oh, bow down
Plead for release
From them
Angel eyes they master me
Oh, bow down
Plead for release
From them
He sees right through me, but doesn't tease
I stand here naked. There's no escape
Fear and hope dance through my shattered mind
All of this from an angel's eyes
And now I...
And now I am His
Angel eyes that master me
The gaze of the angel pulls me in
Fights the darkness lying beneath my skin
What kind of war is this?
What kind of war is this?
'Cause now I am His
Angel eyes that master me
They bring light
And hope
Eternal
10. FORGIVEN
The highway to Hell
The road most taken
Reached for my angel
The darkness faded
My heart is open
Power courses through my veins
I'm forgiven
I walk the valley
With everything to gain
No fears to weaken
I am forgiven
Fire and brimstone
Now forgotten
Surrender the fight
And be delivered
I thought I was too far gone
Believing the Devil's song
Snatched from a burning fate
By the gift the angel gave
Chains broken by your hand
You take in the guilty man
Now I rest in your embrace
Now I am forgiven
My heart is open
Power courses through my veins
I'm forgiven
I walk the valley
With everything to gain
No fears to weaken
I am forgiven
Chains broken by your hand
You take in the guilty man
Now I rest in your embrace
Now I am forgiven
11. I CRY NO MORE
I was fallen
I was wasted
Broken and torn
Filled with greed
Black desire
My soul was at war
Then I called out
When I called out
You healed my pain
I am a sinner
But I confess
I cry no more
'Cause I am blessed
No stone cast
Or judgement made
Just grace bestowed
Healing hands
Of your mercy
My heart is whole
Battles fought
Battles won
I cry no more
So I thank you
So I thank you
For all that you've done
I am a sinner
But now I'm whole
Black to white
I cry no more
I am a sinner
But I confess
I cry no more
'Cause I am blessed
Feel the warmth of your embrace
See the light of your blessed face
Thank you, thank you
For this soul you saved
Thank you, thank you
For this resting place
I was fallen
I was wasted
Broken and torn
Healing hands
Of your mercy
I cry no more
Battles fought
Battles won
You healed my pain
So I thank you
So I thank you
For this soul that you've saved
So I thank you
So I thank you
For this soul that you've saved
12. BEYOND THE GATES
Look back
A life beginning
A life worth living
You know belonging
First steps
And then you're falling
'Cause Satan's calling
Deceived you follow
Didn't see the light
Didn't see the light
'Cause you were blinded
You were swept away...
You were swept away...
Until you cried out...
Take me
I'm yours
Let me
Beyond the Gate
This soul
It needs
To go
Beyond the Gate
Look up
An angel waiting
A new beginning
A soul worth saving
Reach out
I AM calling
I will lead you
To the Promise Land
Didn't see the light
That I'd hoped would guide you
Didn't see the light
'Cause you were blinded
You were swept away...
You were swept away...
Until you cried out...
Take me
I'm yours
Let me
Beyond the Gate
I'll go
You lead
This soul
Beyond the Gate
As I walk this valley
I see no evil
Celestial voices call my name
"Your soul is needed."
Your twisted path made straight
This road to guide you
Eternal bliss awaits
The final resting place
For your so-ooooo-oul
With hope before me
Despair behind
I've walked through the shadows
Into the light
Take me
I'm yours
Let me
Beyond the Gate
I'll go
You lead
This soul
Beyond the Gate
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Walked with the Fallen
Then lifted up
Take me
I'm yours
Let me
Beyond the Gate
I'll go
You lead
To life
Beyond the grave
