Original from the album Open The Gate 1986

lyrics

Open the Gate

Here comes a war and we are sailing through the night
We are the beggars of the sea
We got a task, a plan, a duty to fulfill
Something to conquer, you will see
We reach the land and all brave men get off the boats
It is our voyage to The Brill
We know no fear, or something silly of that kind
All men inside, them them slay we will
Open The Gate!

It's rather cold, but soon it will be much too hot
Especially for the ones inside
We'll hit the gate and metal cracks the massive wood
Inside we will, we'll get inside
We're called the beggars and we are proud of such a name
We're under orange command
All that we ask for, is to open up that gate
So we can get inside The Brill
Open The Gate!

It's rather cold, but soon it will be much too hot
Not only for the ones inside
We'll have to get ourselves inside these heavy walls
And sure we'll conquer all The Brill
We're called the beggars and we're proud of such a name
We're under Orange's command
All that we ask for is to open up that gate
Inside we will, inside we will
Open The Gate!
