Lyrics
Gatekeeper
Why attempt to dodge the sentry?
Who wants to block our entry? Oh no.
Past tries failed miserably. Daio
Gatekeeper set you free.
Keep on walking your path, not taken,
And you will run into me, eventually,
And if at all facts precede gradually,
Why must gravity pull us down again?
For all my efforts I jump too low.
Why must I jump too low?
Pools of red overflowing on your hands,
Worthless concentration wasted on demand
But if for some sort of incredible,
Lift me up help me on the way.
Why not help me on my way?
Why attempt to dodge the sentry?
Who wants to block our entry? Oh no.
Past tries failed miserably. Daio
Gatekeeper set you free.
You looked at me scoffed and said it?s all over
Give up now, turn back now, take your dignity.
?Step aside!?, I screamed, echoed across the land.
I will fight to the death you?ll see.
Can?t let you down nor raise myself to where you are.
Won?t take the time to push myself to go that far,
Can?t hide myself and I finally feel ashamed,
Can?t leap the gate. When I try I jump too low.
