Gates Of Ivory testo

How could you hope for me to be safe
When you're judging me from the front of the cage
How is it 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
Between me like a 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?

How is it 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 crisis 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
Gates of ivory
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 put 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)
