The Open Door Lyrics by Law And Order

Rites Of Passage

1991

Did you see it coming?
Burning fast like a candle's flame
At the gates of desperation
Was endless pouring rain

The padded truth that helped to hide
A world turned upside down
Oh, lying alone in a sea of tears
But now, she’s safe and sound, alright

Oh God, open your doors
All along the eternal shores
You know my mama-mama-mama
Is coming there

As the blood ran thin
A judgement was passed on down
Hands all around unknowing
Stained with ashes and filled with doubt

From beneath the seed that spread the hunger
The blessed ascend
Oh, the river's red, the haunting ceased
And nothing more could be said, alright

Oh God, open your doors
All along the eternal shores
You know my mama-mama-mama
Is coming there

Ooh, you're my sweet love, sweet love
So much you gave
I love you till this day
Ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh

Sometimes you’re rollin'
And sometimes you can't get goin'
Yeah, but you find a way
Just a-ridin', ridin', ridin'

Get on, yeah
Oh get on, yeah
Oh Lord, along the eternal shores

Oh now, get on, yeah
Get on, yeah
Get on along the eternal shores, shores, shores

Get on, yeah
