I got the idea from this song off napoleans tribute song where he says in one bar "we crying at the gates of heaven". That sparked an idea with me and i started writing. i hope you enjoy
Gatez of Heaven (Lyrics by CTD)
I look into the sky
and picture millions crying at the gates of heaven
picture millions at the gates of heaven
gates of heaven...
Verse 1-
picture this prophecy in
open my eyes, see the inside of my future coffin
slowly reminise, remember what happened in my past
life flashes, life i lead runs fast
makes me feel like a sprinter, time runs
through life, untimely cut down by guns
see myself running, towards the bright light
at the end of the tunnel, and I hope that I might
step through the tunnel, and into the clouds
and I did, the people gather in shrouds
I look down on Earth, and I look and its heaven!
And see millions cry, at the gatez of heaven
Chorus
Gates of heaven, see you crying at the gates of heaven
lost souls wanting a second chance
millions cry, shed tears at the gates of heaven
Verse 2
I stand amazed look up at peters gate
it opens, and i know this is fate
stand in the clouds, is this a dream?
look at the souls, spirits, and the beam
of the lord came down and shone on me
the people applauded and I knew i was free
and i cried, even though i was inside
the land of above couldnt believe i was inside
but i looked up, outside the gate the rain started
and i knew these were tears from the lord
i saw some of my family crying for me and their sins
this is what happens at the gates of heaven
Chorus
behold i was back on the earth aka hell
earth is a synonym, it is the same as hell
and i pray that one day
i live to see that second day
in the afterlife, i hope i make it
that was just a glimpse of the real shit
i feel his presence in me everyday
the lord is with me i can feel when i pray
i can feel his hands clasp beside me
i will always remember when i was free
the lost souls kneeling outside heaven
and cry, cry at the gates of heaven
Chorus
