Children of the Next Level Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In trans-human state
It's time to evacuate
Waiting for a ride to take them to the Gate
Await the siren call
More phenobarbital
Pour it down the hatch, ingest it all
[Bridge]
Children of the Next Level
They're chillin' with the Devil
Children of the next level
Here they come!
[Verse 2]
A new life for an old life
A new form of religion
The final task will reinforce their faith
Immortality
Is it really worth living?
Gather up the children going to the gate
[Chorus]
Break through Heaven's Gate
Freedom from this broken world
This mortal shell they leave
Ride up to the sky
Climb aboard and take a trip
To your final destiny
[Verse 3]
Finished with education
So primitive this creation
It's time to go now no time to waste
They want to see it through
No plan to procrastinate
The mind and soul will elevate you
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So now the time has come for T. I. to appear
The book of knowledge taught, predicted the end is near
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Ride the comet all dressed in black
Exit earth, there's no turning back
Who holds the key to open Heaven's Gate?
They gave their lives just to escape
Thirty-nine who took the ride
San Diego mass suicide
Who holds the key to open Heaven's Gate?
And take 'em to the next level
[Chorus]
Break through Heaven's Gate
Freedom from this broken world
This mortal shell they leave
Ride up to the sky
Climb aboard and take a trip
To your final destiny
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So now the time has come for T. I. to appear
The book of knowledge taught, predicted the end is near
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Ride the comet all dressed in black
Exit earth, there's no turning back
Thirty-nine who took the ride
The Children of the Devil
[Chorus]
Break through Heaven's Gate
Freedom from this broken world
This mortal shell they leave
Ride up to the sky
Climb aboard and take a trip
To your final destiny

Chuck Billy:
This was actually the first song we wrote for the new record, so it took right off from [2016’s] Brotherhood of the Snake. The song was inspired by Heaven’s Gate, a cult out of San Diego, where they committed suicide and thought they were going to actually board a meteor to the next le...
