Lyrics
Devils Gate
(Verse 1)
Old Sam was drinking , hes mind away ,
On the country road , he now stray .
Standing at the crossroads , not going far ,
One way lead to hes farm , one to the bar .
(Verse 2)
They found him , at the back of hes house .
At an overgrown grave , beside hes spouse .
Voices in hes head , from the broken past .
The ghost of hes wife was , there to last .
(Verse 3)
In the old country bar, where the good meets the bad ,
Playing the game of cards , oh, the memories we had .
The devil deals the cards, in this smoky haze ,
The angels watch from shadows , caught in a twisted maze.
(Chorus)
Dancing in the shadows , and the devil rings the bell .
One way going straight to hell .
He was haunted , by the voices of the past .
The memories of hes wife , was there to last .
(Bridge 1 )
Oh old Sam , Old sam ,
one bullet to hes head , And now hes is death .
At the back of hes house , is an overgrown grave .
Hes wife was shoot , by a stragers rave .
(Bridge 2 )
Haunted by memories , and with a broken heart ,
hes mind , was falling apart .
Haunted by memories , and with a broken heart ,
hes mind , was falling apart .
(Chorus)
Dancing in the shadows , and the devil rings the bell .
One way going straight to hell .
He was haunted , by the voices of the past .
The memories of hes wife , was there to last .
(Outro)
At the church the priest , was blessing hes soul ,
Old Sam is not gonna be , a lifeless ghoul .
They burried him , beside hes wife ,
at the overgrown grave behind hes house .
Old Sam , oh old Sam ,
Old Sam , Old sam ,
Twisted minds of the realitieas from the past ,
Nothing in life seems to last .
Twisted minds of the realitieas from the past ,
Nothing in life seems to last .
Now beside hes wife , he never found peace in this life .
Now hes finally together with hes wife .
Twisted minds of the realitieas from the past ,
Nothing in life seems to last .
