Analysis of The Closed Gate
It's all your fault.
That's what is taught.
You try to charge,
Things remain the same.
On the verge of insane,
But there's no one to blame.
You put out the fire,
When you needed light.
Don't cry my friend,
It will be alright.
Everything lies just beyond the gate.
Remember to love,
Never be consumed by hate.
