Iron Maiden Gates of Tomorrow song lyrics

Weaving a thread round your heart and your soul

Deceiving your eyes and delaying your goal

Ships in the night when they pass out of sight

Deliver their cargo of earthly delights

To the woman and children the souls of the dead

I've opened the book and no mercy is shed

You want forgiveness and you want it cheap

I don't give redemption rewards for the meek

Suffering evil when you pay the price of fame

There isn't a god to save you if you don't save yourself

You can't blame a madman if you go insane

Give me the strength so I carry on

Trapped in the web but I cut the threads

Show you the gates of tomorrow

Trapped in the web no mercy is shed

Show you the gates of tomorrow

Trapped in the web slaves to the dead

Show you the gates of tomorrow

Trapped in the web but I cut the threads

Show you the gates of tomorrow

Suffering evil when you pay the price of fame

There isn't a god to save you if you don't save yourself

You can't blame a madman if you go insane

Give me the strength so I carry on

Trapped in the web but I cut the threads

Show you the gates of tomorrow

Trapped in the web slaves to the dead

Show you the gates of tomorrow

Trapped in the web no mercy is shed

Show you the gates of tomorrow

Trapped in the web but I cut the threads

Show you the gates of tomorrow
