Pantera Lyrics

Album: Official Live (Double Lp)

Cemetery Gates

The reverend he turned to me 

Without a tear in his eyes 

It's nothing new for him to see 

I didn't ask him why 

I will remember 

The love our souls had 

Sworn to make 

Now I watch the falling rain 

All my mind can see 

Now is your (face)

Well I guess 

You took my youth 

and gave it all away 

Like the birth of a 

New-found joy 

This love would end in rage 

And when she died 

I couldn't cry 

The pride within my soul 

You left me incomplete 

Memories now unfold.

Believe the word 

I will unlock my door 

And pass the 

Cemetery gates

Sometimes when I'm alone 

I wonder aloud 

If you're watching over me 

Some place far abound 

I must reverse my life 

I can't live in the past 

Then set my soul free

Belong to me at last 

Through all those 

Complex years 

I thought I was alone

I didn't care to look around 

And make this world my own 

And when she died 

I should've cried and spared myself some pain... 

Left me incomplete 

All alone as the memories still remain

The way we were 

The chance to save my soul 

And my concern is now in vain 

Believe the word 

I will unlock my door 

And pass the cemetery gates
