Raise the Gates

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You think you know what the hell I've seen You think you know where the hell I've been I'm from the places people never really talk about 'Cause they don't even know where to begin The mom and dad that I never had Were just the first of the MIA Had the teachers and the preachers and the coaches and counselors But everybody faded away Fake it sympathy, you don't care Yeah there's hell on earth, I live there [Pre-Chorus 1] You can take me to the devil's house You can show me where the devil waits So let me in, I'm not afraid Raise the gates [Chorus] Push me in the fire Let the flames wash everything I'm not tired Of defending my beliefs Let it burn me down to ashes As it crashes over me If this is hell, I'm not afraid Raise the gates And push me in the fire [Verse 2] When you said that you loved me too You didn't get what it really meant Can't lie and cheat and steal and leave And think you're ever gonna see me again Take it out on me, your M.O Left in hell on earth, all alone [Pre-Chorus 2] You can take me to the killing fields And you can show me where the devil waits So let me in, I'm not afraid Raise the gates [Chorus] Push me in the fire Let the flames wash everything I'm not tired Of defending my beliefs Let it burn me down to ashes As it crashes over me If this is hell, I'm not afraid Raise the gates And push me in the fire [Bridge] I've got this feeling Like I'm coming undone I don't know where it's from But I know that I like it I've got this feeling Like I'm coming undone I don't know where it's from But I know that I like it [Chorus] Push me in the fire Let the flames wash everything I'm not tired Of defending my beliefs Let it burn me down to ashes As it crashes over me If this is hell, I'm not afraid Raise the gates Push me in the fire And push me in the fire Fire!
