Judas Priest - Traitors Gate lyrics

The river shows no mercy The tower looms into my view I sense my execution’s closing With darkness all around me The axe is ground to end my days The raven’s cry proclaims repentance Out of the dark Into the light Leaving my mark Free from the traitors gate Into the storm I’m gonna win k**er of sin Saved by the traitors gate A man betrayed for treason I only wanted what was right To bring a purpose by rebellion The storm is soon arriving And rain will wash away my blood This walk of d**h will bring survival Out of the dark Into the light Leaving my mark Free from the traitors gate Ready to die Carry the day Bury the lie Tear down the traitors gate Forgive me for my sins I meant no harm to you So let the axe man fall To justify what I begin Where will you be tomorrow Now they’ve removed this mortal coil I hope and pray I bring you freedom For Honor, God and country This world can be a better place As I ascend from my conviction Out of the dark Into the light Leaving my mark Free from the traitors gate River of blood Turning the tide Cause of the flood Destroying the traitors gate Out of the dark Into the light Leaving my mark Free from the traitors gate Losing my head Blunt of the axe Alive when I’m dead Escape from the traitors gate
