Gate of tears

On a mountain of madness
At the top of the world
Looking down at the people
Leading their crazy lives
I saw the token
The seal has been broken
We've built the tower way too high
Dreams being shattered
The rise and the fall
Hear the sound of judgement day
Prepare to meet your maker
When they ring that bell it's heaven or hell
We've been tossed we've been crossed
Since the beginning of time we've been lost
Looking for reason
Walking on broken glass... ooh
My eyes are bleeding
The rise and the fall
Been waiting for so long

At the the gate of tears we cry
Is there a place for you and I
Gazing at the starlight
Hoping for a free flight
On the mountain where the light breaks
That's where you'll find me
Where the rain falls down on the stone surround
I am the preacher man
The voice of the promised land
We've turned up the power way too high
My eyes are bleeding
The rise and the fall
It goes on and on and on

At the gate of tears we cry
Is there a place for you and I
Gazing at the starlight
Hoping for a free flight

Dreams being shattered
The rise and the fall
Been waiting for so long

Since the day that we were born
Good and evil we've been torn
Gazing at the starlight
Hoping for a free flight
At the gate of tears we cry
Is there a place for you and I
Gazing at the starlight
Hoping for a free flight

I am the preacher man
The voice of the promised land
