[The Iron Gate] [ Verse 1 ] I stood at the wall where your silence began. I followed the path of a desperate man. The iron-wrought gate was a skeleton gray. I stepped through the gate and walked from the day. [ Chorus 1 ] I wanted to heal every fracture and scar. To find where the light is, no matter how far. But air turned to lead as the shadow was shown. A secret of malice I shouldn't have known. [ Verse 2 ] I walked down the halls where the echoes reside. The records of grief that you wanted to hide. Raw nerve. Deep bite. Dead halls. Black sight. [ Chorus 2 ] I wanted to heal every fracture and scar. To find where the light is, no matter how far. But air turned to lead as the shadow was shown. A secret of malice I shouldn't have known. [ Bridge ] Iron gate. Slams shut. Black shards. Deep cut. Eye to eye. The void. Everything. Destroyed. [ Verse 3 ] Silent scream. Lead weight. Final breath. Too late. Coldest wind. Sharp fear. No way out. From here. [ Final Chorus ] I tried to heal every fracture and scar. But I am the seeker now wandering far. Now air is like lead and the shadow is mine. I looked in the dark and I crossed every line. [ Outro ] The iron is cold. The secrets are deep. A promise to hold. A promise to keep.
