Gates of Hell

I'm walkin' my own path, no shepherd, no flock A lone wolf in the dark, there's no ticking of the clock Ain't no preacher's words gonna chain my soul I got my own conscience, I'm the one in control They say I'm lost, but I've found my own way No holy book's gonna tell me how to pray I don't need no savior, I save myself And if I'm wrong, I'll face the flames No cry for help Gates of hell, I'm standing tall No fear in my heart, I'll take the fall I won't bow down, won't kneel and plead My soul's my own, that's all I need Gates of hell, I'll break your chains No damnation can hold my reins I'll walk my path, I'll write my fate If hell's my end, then open the gate! They say I'm damned, but I live free No holy laws, no one's judging me I've seen the temples, I've heard the lies No righteous mask can hide the devil's eyes I'm a rebel with a cause, my own destiny A voice for the voiceless, a mind that's free You preach salvation, but I see control I'll take my chances, let the dice roll Gates of hell, I'm standing tall No fear in my heart, I'll take the fall I won't bow down, won't kneel and plead My soul's my own, that's all I need Gates of hell, I'll break your chains No damnation can hold my reins I'll walk my path, I'll write my fate If hell's my end, then open the gate! No more lies, no more deceit I'll walk my way, feel the ground beneath The fire may burn, but I'll stay true To my own heart, to what I knew Gates of hell, I'm standing tall No fear in my heart, I'll take the fall I won't bow down, won't kneel and plead My soul's my own, that's all I need Gates of hell, I'll break your chains No damnation can hold my reins I'll walk my path, I'll write my fate If hell's my end, then open the gate! So let the preachers preach Let the faithful pray Let the preachers preach Let the fate fall So let the preachers preach Let the faithful So let the preachers preach Let the fateful pray
