The Doors

[Verse 1]
It was fate that brought me, hitherto
Between the doors to choose
Who will help me in my task?
Whom should I ask?

[Verse 2]
"I am he", says the man
"I am the goal between"
I am the keeper of the doors
Choose which one is yours

[Verse 3]
This is the door of wealth and gold
And this is the door of pleasure
A door to loose your heavy load
And spend your life in leisure

[Verse 4]
This is the door that fools use
When they wish to seem wise
And this is the door the wise choose
But I tell you, they are blind

[Verse 5]
This is a door for the suicidal
For free of charge, you get a rope
And here is a door with no handle
A door of false hope

[Verse 6]
And then the door of self-pity
You may bathe in misery
Subtle devices of self-torture
At the threshold of it's treasury

[Verse 7]
This is the door of reality
It's not used that very much
Dangerous in great quantities
Unusable as such

[Verse 8]
This is the door for the chosen few
It is named "the truth"
But that kind of doors, there are plenty of
It's only one of many

[Verse 9]
This is the door of empty words
Of promises unkept
It used to be quite famous once
Now it is bereft

[Interlude]

[Verse 10]
Oh, then there is this final door
But I warn you, it is locked
A door to which there is no key
You must go to it and knock

[Verse 11]
The car tonight is speeding on
And you must not look back
For dawn is rising, it won't be long
Though the night be pitch black
