**Title:** The Open Gate **Style:** Dark Industrial Country / Heavy Blues **Vibe:** A driving, relentless rhythm like a hammer hitting an anvil. A gritty, distorted harmonica that sounds like a siren. It feels like a wall being torn down brick by brick. (Verse 1) They built a fence of iron and they locked it with a lie They told you that you need a key that only they can buy They stand behind the velvet rope with a clipboard and a frown Trying to keep the seekers out and keep the wisdom down They say you have to look a certain way or speak a certain tongue But the song of the creator is a song that’s always sung. (Chorus) You don’t have to ask for permission to be whole You don’t have to pay a toll to access your own soul You don’t have to wait in line or prove that you belong The blueprint isn't a secret, and the pattern isn't wrong One, three, five, and seven—the gate is open wide The only thing you have to do is step your feet inside. (Verse 2) They want to be the masters of the light and of the dark They want to be the only ones who get to fan the spark They’ll tell you that it’s dangerous, they’ll tell you that it’s deep To keep the lions quiet and to keep the world as sheep But the math is in the wildflower and the code is in the rain And you don’t have to suffer just to justify your pain. (Chorus) You don’t have to ask for permission to be whole You don’t have to pay a toll to access your own soul You don’t have to wait in line or prove that you belong The blueprint isn't a secret, and the pattern isn't wrong One, three, five, and seven—the gate is open wide The only thing you have to do is step your feet inside. (Bridge) (Music shifts to a heavy, mechanical pulse with the sound of chains snapping) You don’t have to be "chosen." You don’t have to be "pure." The hexagon is waiting. The blueprint is the cure. No more gate-keepers. No more "not enough." You’re made of the stars. And the same sturdy stuff. (Verse 3) So walk right past the sentries and the men who hold the keys The truth is not a favor and it’s not a "pretty please" The nest is built for everyone, the honeycomb is free It’s the birthright of the spirit and the end of "wait and see" The solution isn't guarded by a priest or by a king It’s the simple, sacred resonance that makes the atoms sing. (Outro) The gate is gone. The path is clear. There’s nothing left To doubt or fear. One, three, five, and seven. Safe inside the six. The blueprint is for everyone. The code is gonna fix. bye
