Traitors Gate

The river shows no mercy
The tower looms into my view
I sense my execution's closing.

With darkness all around me
The axe is ground to end my days
The raven's cry proclaims repentance.

Out of the dark
Into the light
Leaving my mark
Free from the traitors gate.

Into the storm
I'm gonna win
Killer of sin
Saved by the traitors gate.

A man betrayed for treason
I only wanted what was right
To bring a purpose by rebellion.

The storm is soon arriving
And rain will wash away my blood
This walk of death will bring survival.

Out of the dark
Into the light
Leaving my mark
Free from the traitors gate.

Ready to die
Carry the day
Bury the lie
Tear down the traitors gate.

Forgive me for my sins
I meant no harm to you
So let the axe man fall
To justify what I begin.

Where will you be tomorrow
Now they've removed this mortal coil
I hope and pray I bring you freedom.

For honour God and country
This world can be a better place
As I ascend from my conviction.

Out of the dark
Into the light
Leaving my mark
Free from the traitors gate.

River of blood
Turning the tide
Cause of the flood
Destroying the traitors gate.

Out of the dark
Into the light
Leaving my mark
Free from the traitors gate.

Losing my head
Blunt of the axe
Alive when I'm dead
Escape from the traitors gate.
