Egypt Central – Raise The Gates lyrics

You know think you know what the hell I've seen?
You think you know where the hell I've been?
I'm from the places people never really talk about,
because they don't even know where to begin.

The mom and dad that I never had,
were just the first of the M.I.A.
I had the teachers and the preachers,
and the coaches and counselors,
but everybody faded away.

Fake it sympathy, you don't care.
Yeah, there's hell on earth, I live there.
You can take me to the devils house.
You can show me where the devil waits.
So, let me in I'm not afraid.
Raise the gates.

Push me in the fire.
Let the flames wash everything.
I'm not tired of defending my beliefs.
Let it burn me down to ashes as it crashes over me.
If this is hell I'm not afraid, raise the gates and push me in the fire.

When you said that you loved me too,
you didn't get what it really meant.
You can't lie and cheat, and steal and leave,
and think you're ever going to see me again.

Take it out on me, your M.O.
Left in hell on earth, all alone.
You can take me to the killing fields,
and you can show me where the devil waits.
So, let me in, I'm not afraid.
Raise the gates.

I’ve got this feeling like I'm coming undone,
I don't know where it's from, but I know that I like it.

Fire!
