Open the gates, open the gates,

Can you see my reflection,

This just a taste of my direction.

 

A sacred city, covered in sin,

But let me tell, where hasn't been?

We're all sinners inside,

We’re all sinners ready to hide

To sin is to live, to sin is to love

We bring the Serpent below, to the realm above

 

This is it, the way we feel it

The devil in our souls

As it clings for control

At the stake of our morality

 

We just sometimes forget how it is,

To truly live in another's shoes,

Open your heart brethren,

And we will welcome you in.

 

Cherish the moment, and take everything in,

We've set our sights on disaster

The grand implosion

The design built to fail

As if we were ever anything more

 

There is a place more beautiful than the stars,

It lies only but ahead.

 

We must find ourselves drawn towards,

The glowing promise beckoning,

And we will find destiny's destination in the Mirror City.
