Greg Lake
The Great Gates of Kiev
[Verse 1]
Come forth, from love's pyre
Born in life's fire
Born in life's fire
Come forth, from love's fire
In the burning, all are yearning
For life to be

[Refrain]
And in pain there will be gain
Blasts of new life!
Stirring in, salty streams
And dark hidden seams
Where the fossil sun gleams

[Verse 2]
They were, sent from the gates
Ride the tides of fate
Ride the tides of fate
They were, sent from the gates
In the burning all are yearning
For life to be

[Instrumental Break: 1:46 - 4:13]

[Verse 2 Reprise]
They were, sent from the gates
Ride the tides of fate
Ride the tides of fate
They were, sent from the gates
In the burning all are yearning
For life to be
Oh, to be
To be!
[Outro]
There's no end to my life
No beginning to my death
Death is life
