TANNHÄUSER GATE
Electric Hellfire Club, The
Electronomicon (2001)

There comes a time for each of us
to make one last desperate stab…at life
To search for truth among the broken dreams
but it's never found…or so it seems to me
Can we break free?

O body electric of thee I sing
In my life I've done many things
Out of anger and frustration
Errors made in desperation
My past follows me…but I'll soon be free

Is it too late? To reach the Tannhäuser Gate?
Is there still time? To cross the Siegfried Line?
Is it too late? To reach the Tannhäuser Gate?
Is there still time? To cross the Siegfried Line?

O there's no point in living
When life's too short to live
And I'll be gone before you realize
Just how much I really have to live

O I've tried…Lord knows I've tried
And I found…that there was nothing to find

Tell me is it too late? To reach the Tannhäuser Gate?
Tell me is there still time? To cross the Siegfried Line?
Tell me it's not too late…To reach the Tannhäuser Gate
Tell me that there's still time…To cross the Siegried Line
Just one more time…

When people build walls instead of bridges
Their fortresses soon become their prisons
Each day I hope and pray…
all these memories will be washed away
All this sadness, all this pain
Lost in time like tears in rain…

Like tears in rain...

Tell me it's not too late…to reach the Tannhäuser Gate
Tell me that there's still time…to cross the Siegfried Line
Tell me that you'll wait…for me at Tannhäuser Gate
Tell me that you'll be mine…at the Siegfried Line
Tell me there's still time…enough for us to try
Just one more time…
Tell me it's not too late… to reach the Tannhäuser Gate
Tell me it's not too late… to reach the Tannhäuser Gate
Tell me there's still time…enough for us to try
Just one more time…Tell me that you'll be mine
Just one more time…
