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 treat 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 men
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)
