The Cruciform Gate

from TWOmb by Ethan Work

/

lyrics

A story in four parts.

I. Sunday’s Passage (0:00)

A religious man lives a double life. Every Sunday, he enters through a large cross-shaped gate into a church building to keep up his appearance of piety amongst his peers. However, as soon as he gets back home, it’s right back to his daily life of sin, debauchery, and hedonism. One Sunday, he gets a brief but very strange sensation deep in his soul as he is leaving through the gate following the church service. He nonetheless shrugs it off.

II. The Brunch of the Beast (3:25)

The man continues on with his self-destructive routine that night. He parties for hours on end, gets absolutely wasted, and has sex with three different women. He picks a fight with a random homeless person just outside the club as he is leaving for the night.

III. Prelude to the Death (7:02)

He stumbles into his car dripping wet from the rain. He starts to fall asleep at the wheel but is suddenly jerked awake by the realization that he has veered into a ditch. The next thing he knows, he has rammed his car into a lamp post and dies from the impact. The real Death, however, would come later.

IV. The Death (11:42)

Upon entering the afterlife, the man takes one last look at what he presumes to be the Gates of Heaven, ironically shaped just like that Cruciform Gate which guards the church where he so frequently flaunted his deadly façade, before being pulled into the deep, dark depths of You-Know-Where.
