[Verse 1]
Smoke in my lungs
Ash in my eyes
Sky split open
Heard a thousand cries
Stood on the edge
Staring down the flame
Every broken promise
Called out my name
[Chorus]
These gates of fire
Won’t own my soul
I walk through shadows
To take control
If I burn tonight
Then I burn as a light
‘Cause somebody’s gotta
Somebody’s gotta
Shut these gates of fire
[Verse 2]
Teeth made of iron
Wings made of bone
They circle like vultures
Guarding their throne
Fear in my chest
Steel in my hand
If I fall here (hey!)
Who will take this stand?
[Chorus]
These gates of fire
Won’t own my soul
I walk through shadows
To take control
If I burn tonight
Then I burn as a light
‘Cause somebody’s gotta
Somebody’s gotta
Shut these gates of fire
[Bridge]
I hear the choir
Behind my back
Voices of the fallen
Drive this last attack
Every scar I carry
Turns to battle hymn
I step through the blaze
I will not give in (no!)
[Chorus]
These gates of fire
Won’t own my soul
I walk through shadows
To take control
If I burn tonight
Then I burn as a light
‘Cause somebody’s gotta
Somebody’s gotta
Shut these gates of fire
[Outro]
One last scream
Steel meets stone
Flames fall silent
I am not alone (oh yeah)
