Saint Peter's Gate Lyrics - Chris De Burgh

I was lost in the dark 

And the fear was in my heart 

All around me the forest and the rain 

Then with the flash of a light, I saw it in the night 

I must be getting near - Saint Peter's Gate! 

When I went through the door, he was standing in the hall 

An old man with a beard of shining white 

He said "I've been expecting you, let me show you to your room" 

And he took me all the way by candlelight 

And lying there on the bed, a book, black & red 

My name was written on the front in gold 

And when I opened it up, there were pictures of my life 

And a voice began to call from down below

Nobody will get through, nobody 

Not even you, can escape the Judgement Day 

Nobody will be spared, Heaven is only there 

For the ones who satisfy them at - Saint Peter's Gate 

"Come with me" said that old man, as he took me by the hand 

"There is someone here that you have seen before 

In this room on the left, a man who did his best 

To bring joy and happiness to one and all 

But in that room on the right, a dictator in life 

We've been waiting for him here, as you can tell 

For all the blood he's spilled 

And for all the ones he's killed 

We condemn him to eternity in hell 

Nobody will get through, Nobody 

Not even you, can escape the Judgement Day 

Nobody will be spared, Heaven is only there 

For the ones who satisfy them at - Saint Peter's Gate

I woke up with the dawn, there was someone in my room 

A woman, like an angel all in white 

And then she told me "You must run, for your time has yet to come 

Go now, before they change their minds" 

And from the window I saw 

A thousand or more 

Bringing that dictator to his knees 

And his cries broke the sound 

Of my footsteps on the ground 

As I made it to the safety of the trees 

Nobody will get through 

Nobody not even you 

Can escape the judgement day 

Nobody will be spared 

Heaven is only there 

For the ones who satisfy them at.. 

Saint Peters Gate 

Nobody will get through 

Nobody not even you 

Can escape the judgement day 

Nobody will be spared 

Heaven is only there 

For the ones who satisfy them at 

St Peters Gate
