Killing Joke – Outside the Gate

In the morning as I come around, rub my eyes and look outside

Watching, absorbing the underworld – reflections of a monstrous soul within

Power stations and power games – this sickness called society

I have identified the forces behind these changes that I see

I put on my mask

I walk down the path

I go through the arch

Outside the gate

I have walked blkac lava fields of the northern hemisphere

I have travelled the Andes range, across Pacific isles

There is no escape in the waking world from that which is approaching us fast

Salvation is drawn from our childhoos dreams

In lands of beauty untainted by cynicism

I put on my mask

I walk down the path

I go through the arch

Outside the gate

He invokes entities vast and mindless!

We shall taste unimaginable joys a thousand times greater than these!

And when the stars assume their rightful place, man liberates a mindless race

Morals and laws shall be thrown aside – tap the millenial flame with pride

Gaze with wonder, embrace your fate

– A madman looks outside the gate!

I put on my mask

I walk down the path

I go through the arch

I close the gate
