Gates of Ivory

How could you hope for me to be saved

When you're judging me from the front of the gates

Hell isn't make believe

It's the silence that lasts between you and me

I'm living in a battle

Between your faith and my dismay

You're living in a chapel

But treating me like your personal plague

Drown in the water

Burn in the fire

God was not the one that ever held me together

Lead the way to crucify, will it lead you to Heaven?

Hell isn't make believe

It's the silence that lasts between you and me

You pray when there's a crisis

With folded hands, down on your knees

The grace is undeserving

If you don't practice what you preach

You used to know me, but you let go slowly

It must be lonely, being so holy

Drown in the water

Burn in the fire

God was not the one that ever held me together

Lead the way to crucify, will it lead you to Heaven?

You used to know me, but you let go slowly

Words written by the hands of man, and you call it divine intervention

Gates of ivory

Don't fall, don't fall

Gates of ivory, don't fall from your tower

It must be lonely, being so holy

Drown in the water

Burn in the fire

God was not the one that ever held me together

Lead the way to crucify, will it lead you to Heaven?

Drown in the water

Burn in the fire (burn in the fire)

Gates of ivory

Don't fall, don't fall
