Standing at the Gates of Heaven

Standing at the Gates of Heaven

Standing at the gates of Heaven

I look between the bars

Such a paradise just beyond

Kept out of my reach

I am only allowed to watch

Gargoyles block my way

Holding me back

They rip at my cloaks

Tearing them to shreds

Black angels sing my praises

Wrapping leather wings around me

Holding my breaths deep in my chest

They tear at my heart

Pulling my arteries from my chest

Drawing my blood onto the floor

They laugh at my unending pain

Enjoying the torture they inflict

I am drawn away to a hell of my own making

Watching eternity from a molten rock

From now until the end of days

Snakes and demons will be my only friends

Only existing in my private hell
