De Burgh, Chris - Saint Peter's Gate Lyrics
I was lost in the dark,
And the fear was in my heart,
All around me the forest and the rain,
Then with the flash of a light, I saw it in the night,
I must be getting near - Saint Peter's Gate!
When I went through the door, he was standing in the hall,
An old man with a beard of shining white,
He said "I've been expecting you, let me show you to your room",
And he took me all the way by candlelight,
And lying there on the bed, a book, black & red,
My name was written on the front in gold,
And when I opened it up, there were pictures of my life,
And a voice began to call from down below;
Nobody will get through, nobody,
Nobody will be spared, Heaven is only there,
For the ones who satisfy them at - Saint Peter's Gate.
"Come with me" said that old man, as he took me by the hand
"There is someone here that you have seen before,
In this room on the left, a man who did his best,
To bring joy and happiness to one and all;
But in that room on the right, a dictator in life,
We've been waiting for him here,as you can tell,
For all the blood he's spilled,
And for all the ones he's killed,
We condemn him to eternity in hell;
Nobody will get through, Nobody,
Not even you, can escape the Judgement Day,
Nobody will be spared,Heaven is only there,
For the ones who satisfy them at - Saint Peter's Gate.
I woke up with the dawn, there was someone in my room,
A woman, like an angel all in white,
And then she told me "You must run, for your time has yet to come,
Go now, before they change their minds",
And from the window I saw,
A thousand or more,
Bringing that dictator to his knees,
And his cries broke the sound,
Of my footsteps on the ground,
As I made it to the safety of the trees:
Nobody will get through,
Nobody not even you,
Can escape the judgement day,
Nobody will be spared,
Heaven is only there,
For the ones who satisfy them at...
Saint Peters Gate.
Nobody will get through,
Nobody not even you,
Can escape the judgement day,
Nobody will be spared,
Heaven is only there,
For the ones who satisfy them at,
St Peters Gate.

I really love this music....I heard it in Iran for the first time when I was travelling and I never forgot it! It is so beautiful!
Great song !!!
Nobody will be able to steal somebody's identity to get through the Pearly gate's and God doesn't take bribes. The ones who missed it on Earth will have all of eternity in the fiery depths of Hell sitting on that ember red rock to try to get to that page about Hell and damnation, only the book keeps going up in flames. They are already there.
A sweet and honest song!
SAINT PETER'S GATE SONGTEXT ÜBERSETZUNG
Sankt Peters Tor
Ich hatte mich in der Dunkelheit verirrt,
Und Angst war in meinem Herzen,
Überall um mich herum der Wald und der Regen,
Dann in einem Lichtblitz sah ich es in der Nacht,
Ich muss näher heran - Sankt Peters Tor!
Also ging ich durch die Tür,
Stand er in der Halle,
Ein alter Mann mit einem strahlend weißen Bart,
Er sagte "Ich habe dich erwartet, lass mich dir dein Zimmer zeigen",
Und er begleitete mich den ganzen Weg bei Kerzenlicht,
Und auf dem Bett lag ein schwarz-rotes Buch,
Auf dem Umschlag stand golden mein Name,
Und als ich es öffnete, waren dort Bilder meines Lebens,
Und eine Stimme begann von unten zu sprechen,
Keiner wird durchkommen, keiner,
Auch nicht du, kannst vor dem Tag des Jüngsten Gerichts fliehen,
Keiner wird verschont, der Himmel ist nur da,
Für diejenigen, die am Sankt Peters Tor überzeugen,
"Komm mit mir" sagte dieser alte Mann, als er mich bei der Hand nahm,
"Es gibt jemanden hier, den du schon einmal vorher gesehen hast,
Im linken Raum, ein Mann, der sein Bestes tat,
Um Freude und Glück zu jedem zu bringen,
Aber im rechten Raum, ein Diktator zu Lebzeiten,
Wir haben hier auf ihn gewartet, wie du dir vorstellen kannst,
Für all das Blut, dass er vergoss,
Und für alle die er tötete,
Verdammten wir ihn für Ewigkeit in der Hölle",
Niemand wird durchkommen, keiner,
Auch nicht du, kannst vor dem Tag des Jüngsten Gerichts fliehen,
Keiner wird verschont, der Himmel ist nur da,
Für diejenigen, die am Sankt Peters Tor überzeugen,
Ich wachte mit der Dämmerung auf,
Es war jemand in meinem Zimmer,
Eine Frau, wie ein Engel, ganz in weiß,
Und dann sagte sie mir "Du musst rennen, denn deine Zeit ist noch nicht gekommen,
Gehe jetzt, bevor sie ihre Meinung ändern"
Und vom Fenster aus sah ich Tausend oder mehr,
Die den Diktator in die Knie zwangen,
Und seine Schreie brachen das Geräusch meiner Schritte auf dem Boden,
Als ich die Sicherheit der Bäume erreichte,
Keiner wird durchkommen,
Keiner, auch nicht du,
Kannst von dem Tag des Jüngsten Gerichts fliehen,
Keiner wird verschont,
Der Himmel ist nur da,
Für diejenigen, die am Sankt Peters Tor überzeugen.
Keiner wird durchkommen,
Keiner, auch nicht du,
Kannst von dem Tag des Jüngsten Gerichts fliehen,
Keiner wird verschont,
Der Himmel ist nur da,
Für diejenigen, die am Sankt Peters Tor überzeugen.
Prachtig!!!
Meh, I don't think this is the best version. But that's just a matter of opinion.
wonderful amazing song
Song of superstition!
Chris sings a wonderful story. Such a talent. Overdue for a trip to Australia.
Ông đả mất người con trai trong chiến tranh,không biết có phải trong chiến tranh Việt Nam ta?

Best Version In did.
+HANNIBAL LECTER Yes, in did.
Hermoso!!
my god what a beautiful song and so well delivered by chris, very thought provoking. wish there was songs like this now. too bad its all about image now. since when did what you looked like take first fiddle over what you sing like. very sad how music has gone very superficial springs to mind.
I couldn't agree more. Songs these days just don't have any feel or story to them like they used to, it's all about how you say you are... Times have changed, everything has changed...
Because Meg, people are lost, ...........The evils one's of this World, are disorientating everyone. People are not grounded properly they are too much of mind and not in the moment. People are not self aware and they need to be. Body awareness is a start.. as in yoga meditation and tai chi and chi Kung.
Good music!
I have a hard time understanding how the songs like this never make it to the charts, while some mediocre songs win tons of Grammy’s. I can’t understand the main stream music, especially nowadays!
quandomi dei por mim ja estava chorando ouvibdo esta musica enxanta a alma
amo esta musica e linda de mais
eu dedico au homem mais lindo do mundo o meu miudo meu grande amor
There's a KAGAYA picture in this video, I salute TheFlowermessenger for the pick :D

I'm not at all religious, but there is something mysterious and mesmerizing about this song. Very beautiful.
One of my favourite songs from Chris, love it very much!
Thank you for uploading this. :)
Happy to hear that
This is beautiful. This song changed my life when I was 15. I'm not as religious as I used to be then, but it carries a sense of security and passion.
Your welcome :)
