The Gates / Castle of the Ledge 404

They walk a silent path
Staring at the dirt and ash
That cracks beneath their feet
They wipe their brow and grit their teeth
Holding on to empty hope
Bitterness and rock and roll
Childish in nature
They turn the wood to paper
And open up the sky
To find the satellite
To fail to split the wind
They are ready to begin

I found the relic down out here
I found the other way around out here
It's on the bends you take to get to the den
And you follow out your broken soul to the end
The answer that I need is only a way
And all the opportunity, I forget
But hey, you never did believe in me then
So I am on my own to fall out again

The elders sit around the gates
They say the road is open still
You say whatever option that I take
Is gonna bend, is gonna kill
You see, I might’ve made a few mistakes
I know the road is on the will
And you dim the light while I'm away
But one day we will take our wings
And fly away
