Reverend, reverend Is this some conspiracy? Crucified for no sins An image beneath me What's within our plans for life It all seems so unreal I'm a man cut in half in this world Left in my misery That reverend turned to me Without a tear in his eyes Nothing new for him to see I didn't ask him why I will remember The love our souls had Sworn to make Now I watch the falling rain All my mind can see Now is your (face) Well I guess You took my youth And gave it all away Like the birth of a New-found joy This love would end in rage And when she died I couldn't cry The pride within my soul You left me incomplete All alone as the memories now unfold Believe the word I will unlock my door And pass the Cemetery gates Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder aloud If you're watching over me Some place far abound I must reverse my life I can't live in the past Then set my soul free Belong to me at last Through all those Complex years I thought I was alone I didn't care to look around And make this world my own And when she died I should've cried and spared myself some pain You left me incomplete All alone, as the memories still remain The way we were The chance to save my soul And my concern is now in vain Believe the word I will unlock my door And pass the cemetery gates The way we were The chance to save my soul And my concern is now in vain Believe the word I will unlock my door And pass the cemetery gates Gates Gates

O single “Cemetery Gates” aparece como a quinta faixa do álbum *Cowboys from Hell*, considerado pela banda como o primeiro “verdadeiro” álbum, embora seja o segundo com o vocalista Phil Anselmo.
A faixa destaca a habilidade vocal de Anselmo, terminando com notas de scream altas que são respondidas por Dimebag Darrell em uma troca de solos.
A canção recebeu grande volume de play em estações de rock e se tornou uma das mais populares da Pantera.
No ranking de guitarristas, o solo de “Cemetery Gates” foi eleito o 35.º melhor de todos os tempos pela revista Guitar World, sendo o segundo melhor solo de Dimebag Darrell (após “Floods”).
Após a morte de Dimebag Darrell, o Dream Theater interpretou “Cemetery Gates” como tributo durante o Gigantour, com a participação de Russell Allen (Symphony X) no primeiro verso, Burton C. Bell (Fear Factory) no segundo verso e Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) no solo final.
