The Great Gates Of Kiev Lyrics - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Come forth, from love spire 

Born in life's fire, 

Born in life's fire. 

Come forth, from love's spire 

In the burning, all are yearning, 

For life to be. 

And the pain will (must) be gain, 

New life! 

Stirring in, salty streams 

And dark hidden seams 

Where the fossil sun gleams. 

They were, sent from (to) the gates 

Ride the tides of fate, 

Ride the tides of fate. 

They were, sent from (to) the gates 

In the burning of our yearning, 

For life to be. 

There's no end to my life, 

No beginning to my death 

Death is life!
