Standing here at the gates
Face to face
Hoping the scene is a dream but I know it aint
Cos they ask me why? - Why is it a secret
But it aint no secret no, No no no no no no
It was writ, it was read, it was spoken, it was said
Hung high upon a notice board and underlined in red
Here at the Gates of Eternity
Oh watching the people go by
My oh My
With faces like flint, there's no telling what they think
But they ask me why? - Why is it a secret
But it aint no secret, no no no no no no
It was writ, it was read, it was spoken, it was said
And high upon a notice board it's underlined in red
Here at the Gates of Eternity
Here at the Gates of Eternity
Here at the Gates of Eternity
With the Butcher the baker and candlestick maker
The Kings and Queens, movers and shakers
Mothers and lovers and givers and takers
And all of them looking at me!
Here at the Gates of Eternity
Here at the Gates of Eternity
Here at the Gates of Eternity
Here at the Gates of Eternity
