Opening
D. N. Angel Lyrics

Opening the gates
We are breaking down barriers and opening up new possibilities.

These chains that have choked existence,
We have been held back, restrained and oppressed by external forces.

Have fallen away
We are finally free from these chains and can move forward.

This veil that has blinded eyes has been lifted
We were once kept in the dark, but now we can see the truth.

And now it is gone
We have overcome this obstacle and can continue on our path.

And like the ways of the sheep
People have been following blindly, like sheep without a shepherd.

The flock has been bred only to receive
People have been raised to fit into a certain mold and follow predetermined paths.

Lead to the gates of their enemy
People have been led blindly to their own downfall by those who seek to control them.

Lead to the slaughter of their beliefs
People have been convinced to abandon their own values and beliefs, leading to their own destruction.

And now their gazing eyes have turned
People are starting to see the truth and are looking to us for guidance.

Turned to see us laughing
We are no longer afraid and are embracing our newfound freedom.

These fools who have thought
Those who have tried to control us and keep us in the dark.

Us to be as they are
They thought we would be content to follow in their footsteps.

Have never truly seen
They have never understood our true potential and what we are capable of.

Guided by limited ways that they think,
They have been constrained by their own small-mindedness and cannot see beyond their own narrow worldview.

They've called us blind and obscene
They have insulted us, thinking we were ignorant and immoral for not following their ways.

But now the sheep are wailing
People who once followed blindly are now realizing the error of their ways and are in pain.

Cries to a god they never see
Their cries for help are going unheard, as they have lost touch with their own spirituality.

While the gates are closing
As their old ways are dying out, new opportunities are opening up for those who are willing to move beyond them.

Down upon all they have believed
Their systems and beliefs are collapsing, leaving them without a clear sense of purpose.

And now their pleading eyes have turned,
They are begging for guidance and direction, seeking a new path forward.

Turned to see the eyes of the laughing
They are looking to us for leadership and inspiration, as we have found a new sense of joy and freedom.

These ties that have bound these fools
The constraints and limitations that have been placed upon people have stifled their potential and held them back.

To the ways of the blind,
Those who have followed blindly have been held back by their lack of vision and insight.

Is ignorant bliss
Their unawareness of the truth has been a source of comfort, but has ultimately held them back.

Lies that were fed to the slumbering mass,
People have been fed disinformation and propaganda, keeping them asleep and ignorant.

They've grazed upon it
They have consumed and internalized these falsehoods, preventing them from seeing the truth.

And all that awaits men failing to see
Those who refuse to acknowledge the truth will be left behind in this new era.

Is the sight they've despised
They will be forced to confront the reality and truths they have tried to avoid and ignore.

The gates have now opened
New opportunities are now available to us, and we can forge a new path forward.

Your religion has died.
The old ways and beliefs have passed away, leaving room for new ideas and perspectives.
