Verse 1
Let the enemy think we're sleeping
All the while in the night we're creeping in on them

PreChorus
Take them by surprise
And see the fear in their eyes

Chorus
Storm the gates of hell
And we'll be free again
Storm the gates, go and tell
Our Brothers and Sisters this is the end
of tyranny

Verse 2
Our numbers are growing every day
We will take our fight all the way to the very end

PreChorus 2
Chorus 2

Solo 1

Verse 3
Tomorrow will be a new beginning
We will have much more than just winning the battle

right on baby.jack c.

[57Gregy]

Cool song, C.R. I like it. Did I hear Jon Lord in there?

[bitflipper]

Credit to bapu for the mix. There's a lot going on in there.

In truth, when he first presented this one to me I declined to contribute, saying it would be better to approach it as a power trio seeing as how it was already so dense. Kudos to Ed for refusing to take "no" for an answer and figuring out how to create a space for me so I could channel my inner Jon Lord.

Actually, because Jon is still alive I should have said "channeling my inner Keith Emerson". But in truth I'm not that good.

[Bajan Blue]

Cool track guys, really enjoyed it.

The mix (and Jon Lord organ) sound great!!

[antler]

Very cool song, and a great mix for having so much going on. Well done, everyone!

[Old Joad]

This is awesome?

[John Vere]

Totally not a style of music I ever listen to but I just had to so I could listen to Bit's keyboard playing! ?

Great stuff folks. Ken definitely the star on this one. Great vocal

[Wookiee]

Nothing like a partly screamed vocal to shift the cobwebs from the ears, mix sounds Ok here.

May be debatable...

[bitflipper]

Well, I suppose technically I can play rings around Keith nowadays. By the same logic I play better drums than John Bonham, better guitar than Stevie Ray Vaughn, and better harpsichord than Amadeus Mozart.

[jwnicholson78]

Kudos to all involved.  That was a lot of fun.

Cool song indeed! Kudos to all!  There is a lot going on in this song and Bapu's mix sorts it all all out.  Well done!
