Some gates were not to be opened
But then you would never proceed
To look past the edge of what is known

Taste the fruit of knowledge
And you will be rewarded
With the cold fear of what waits beyond

Stand still as the moment strikes
There will be no chance to rewind

Once the gates of unknown
Are open wide they can't be closed
Stare transfixed to the beyond
There's no way to turn back time
Must race the speed of light
To find a way to survive

With the weight on your shoulders
And your blood running colder
As the full understanding sets in

The future is not yet written
There are wrongs to be righted
But soon it is too late to begin

Go back to when the moment strikes
But there is no way to rewind
