Gate of the Gods Lyrics

The Chaldean king and a thousand lords in the desert night
Quenching their thirst with cursed wine
The sacred vessels have been defiled

Now the writing's on the wall and the ending has begun
And no one could forestall the fall of Babylon

Can everybody see it? Can you read it on the wall?
Is it real or just illusion?
They sent for the wise man to decipher what it means
A divine prosecution

I won't believe what Daniel say
I will defy the prophecy
I will defeat my enemy
They're on the march

In the gate of the gods
All the desecrators are paying the price
Feel the wrath of the gods
Retribution shine on the pagans inside
Calling out for you

Drain, dry the river
Lead the way to ancient Babylon

Ride across the desert plains
Cyrus leads the armies on towards the walls

All that remains, all that remains
Inside that fading heart
It was the pride (It was the pride)
Before the fall (Before the fall)
Your kingdom in ruins lie, forever

At the end of the attack
All the colors fade to black
The end of the line

Now everyone can see it in the eyes of the defeated
What you reap is what you sow

Now they're tearing down the walls
And the king has lost his crown
And the writing was foretold
The fall of Babylon

In the gate of the gods
All the desecrators are paying the price
Feel the wrath of the gods
Retribution shine on the pagans inside
In the gate of the gods
All the desecrators are paying the price
Feel the wrath of the gods
Retribution shine on the pagans inside
Calling out for you

Out for you

Out for you
