Pharaoh - Up The Gates lyrics

rate me

hen the banners were called, we had raised a mighty cheer

Our forces had seemed so strong

In the time that's passed, we have seen what we lost

Our lives have been hard so long

Now the conquerors have come tonight-

Do we fold or do we fight?

Is the kingdom still worth fighting for?

Up the gates! and let them in!

So the siege is on, we hunger and we quake in fear

Not just soldiers fight the war

Will we die in here? We're all afraid and can't recall

The cause that we're starving for

Now the conquerors have come tonight-

Do we fold or do we fight?

Is the kingdom still worth fighting for?

Up the gates! and let them in!

Though we pray to be relieved, our prayers are never heard

Prayers are never heard

Though we're promised that we're safe, they lie with every word

Lie with every word

When the banners were called, no one thought to doubt the cause

Our leaders had seemed so strong

Now we wait and hope and wonder were we right or wrong

We'll only survive so long

Now the conquerors have come tonight-

Do we fold or do we fight?

Is the kingdom still worth fighting for?

Up the gates! and let them in!

Up the gates!
