This is not exactly how Matt plays the song; this is an easy version with chords. 
EmSo time has reached its tireleDss goalC  
CAhead outstretched my path unfolDdsEm  
EmDown into the depDths of hellC  
CI've seen enough, I might Das wellEm  
Through the circles of fire and stone
To the castle of blood and bone
Lucifer in all his power
Awaits me in my judgment hour
EmBelieve right now it's not tDoo lateC  
CI'll meet you at St PeteDr's GateEm  
Into the forest I begin
Where the beasts feast on skin
The brittle leaves are black not green
The mark of St Augustine
I meet them here, the poets in men
And the crimes for which they can't defend
They say "eternity can't be that bad
I've lost every love I've ever had"
Believe right now it's not too late
I'll meet you at St Peter's Gate
To sea, the blood of sin
We shed our rags and dive right in
And sink beneath the waves of fire
And feel our innocence expire
For I've done more wrong than I've done right
I saw the darkness devour the light
You cannot save this weary soul
Your every deed will take its toll
Believe right now it's not too late
I'll meet you at St Peter's Gate
How can I just accept this fate
I'll meet you at St Peter's Gate
Ahead the castle's fiery moat
We're seeing all the lost souls float
Across the bridge of tangled bones
Into a world the darkness owns

Em D C

So time has reached its tireless goal

C D Em

Ahead outstretched my path unfolds

Em D C

Down into the depths of hell

C D Em

I've seen enough, I might as well

Through the circles of fire and stone

To the castle of blood and bone

Lucifer in all his power

Awaits me in my judgment hour

Em D C

Believe right now it's not too late

C D Em

I'll meet you at St Peter's Gate

Into the forest I begin

Where the beasts feast on skin

The brittle leaves are black not green

The mark of St Augustine

I meet them here, the poets in men

And the crimes for which they can't defend

They say "eternity can't be that bad

I've lost every love I've ever had"

Believe right now it's not too late

I'll meet you at St Peter's Gate

To sea, the blood of sin

We shed our rags and dive right in

And sink beneath the waves of fire

And feel our innocence expire

For I've done more wrong than I've done right

I saw the darkness devour the light

You cannot save this weary soul

Your every deed will take its toll

Believe right now it's not too late

I'll meet you at St Peter's Gate

How can I just accept this fate

I'll meet you at St Peter's Gate

Ahead the castle's fiery moat

We're seeing all the lost souls float

Across the bridge of tangled bones

Into a world the darkness owns
