Dimmu Borgir
Gateways
[Choral intro]

[Verse: Shagrath]
The core principle of freedom
Is the only notion to obey
The formula of evolution and sin
Leading the way

[Pre-Chorus 1: Shagrath]
The rebirth is near completion
As we slowly awaken from slumber
As we slowly awaken from slumber

[Chorus: Agnete & Shagrath]
The malpractice of the spirit ends
Gateways
When the gift is once again attained
Gateways

No rules or restraints are longer valid
Gateways
When the ancient future is reclaimed
Gateways

No rules or restraints are longer valid
Gateways
When the ancient future is reclaimed
Gateways
[Bridge: Shagrath]
It's all there for the eyes that can see
The blind ones will always suffer in secrecy
For it is the omen of what lies submerged, breeding
Untouched within us, bleeding

[Instrumental break]

[Verse: Shagrath]
The core principle of freedom
Is the only notion to obey
The formula of evolution and sin
Leading the way

[Pre-Chorus 2: Shagrath]
The rebirth is near completion
As we slowly awaken from slumber
To receive the light that shines in darkness
The light that shines forevermore
Forevermore

[Instrumental break]

[Outro: Shagrath & Agnete]
Be the broken or the breaker
Be the giver or the undertaker
Unlock and open the door
Be the healer or the faker
The keys are in your hands
Realize you are your own sole creator
Of your own master plan

Be the broken or the breaker
Be the giver or the undertaker
Unlock and open the door
Be the healer or the faker

The keys are in your hands
Realize you are your own sole creator
Of your own master plan
