HEAVENS GATE

words and music © Ché Zuro

from "Welcome Home"

listen! 

This was so heavily inspired by the cult that committed suicide in Southern California a few years ago - the Heavens Gate cult. The song is sort of tongue in cheek coming from someone inside a cult, and the things he/she says, and how serious they feel, yet how ridiculous they sound. "My God is real, He's on the rocketship that's made its landing, c'mon, let's all join hands!"

HEAVEN'S GATE

You always thought that everything I said was something
Was I a joke instead?
You carried salt for all the wounds that people opened
But I got inside your head!

chorus	Walk in the sun and I will never be forgotten
		Light up the path of my days
		Follow the one who'll lead you from the depths of darkness
		Right to the front of HEAVEN'S GATE.

You'll never be healed unless you heed the warning
No one will understand
My God is real, he's on the rocketship that's made it's landing
C'mon let's all join hands...

chorus	Walk in the sun and I will never be forgotten
		Light up the path of my days
		Follow the one who'll lead you from the depths of darkness
		Right to the front of HEAVEN'S GATE

musical bridge

My brothers we are off to build a new tomorrow
We're packed and ready to go
And we will shed our containers that are stamped with sorrow
Then everyone will know....

chorus	Walk in the sun and I will never be forgotten
		Light up the path of my days
		Follow the one who'll lead you from the depths of darkness
		Right to the front of HEAVEN'S GATE.
