​Let Me In, Let Me In

Let me in, let me in

War’s about to begin

The hour cometh

The army’s marchin’

…

Let me in, let me in

I have done no single sin

Open up the gates now

Let me see what’s there within

…

Let me in, let me in

Hear me shoutin’ and screamin’

Save me from this torture

They want to burn my skin

…

Let me in, let me in

I’ve served my kith and kin

Read all of your scriptures

Come out and examine

…

Let me in, let me in

Every minute, I’m growing thin

I’m getting frail and tired

My body is achin’

…

Let me in, let me in

I deserve a place therein

I’d like to eat your fruits

And play the violin

…

Let me in, let me in

What am I missin’?

Eddie Price got in there

So did Catherine

…

Let me in, let me in

Silence is deafenin’

Bring out your arguments

Let’s see who finally wins

…

Let me in, let me in

I have done no single sin

Open up the gates now

Let me in, let me in

…

Let me in, let me in

War’s about to begin

The hour cometh

The army’s marchin’
