Traitors Gate

Lyrics by：Glenn Tipton/Rob Halford/Richie Faulkner

Composed by：Glenn Tipton/Rob Halford/Richie Faulkner

The river shows no mercy

The tower looms into my view

I sense my execution's closing

With darkness all around me

The axe is ground to end my days

The raven's cry proclaims repentance

Out of the dark

Into the light

Leaving my mark

Free from the traitors gate

Into the storm

I'm gonna win

Killer of sin

Saved by the traitors gate

A man betrayed for treason

I only wanted what was right

To bring a purpose by rebellion rebellion

The storm is soon arriving

And rain will wash away my blood

This walk of death will bring survival

Out of the dark

Into the light

Leaving my mark

Free from the traitors gate

Ready to die

Carry the day

Bury the lie

Tear down the traitors gate

Forgive me for my sins

I meant no harm to you

So let the axe man fall

To justify what I begin

Where will you be tomorrow

Now they've removed this mortal coil

I hope and pray I bring you freedom

For honor

God and country

This world can be a better place

As I ascend from my conviction

Out of the dark

Into the light

Leaving my mark

Free from the traitors gate

River of blood

Turning the tide

'Cause of the flood

Destroying the traitors gate

Out of the dark

Into the light

Leaving my mark

Free from the traitors gate

Losing my head

Blunt of the axe

Alive when I'm dead

Escape from the traitors gate
