Hell's Gate

I sat pondering in my chamber

To go to heaven or to hell

To let my life end

Or to drown in the hypothetical well

I sat sulking in misery

To go to heaven or to hell

I fell a short drop

And came to a twitching stop

I awoke between doors

Eager to see what awaits

Behind those pearly gates

But also curious to know

The contents behind that wooden door

My choice was made before I did much more

Now I'm here to wait

Forever stuck in front of that flaming gate
