I believe this is a new TV show that is either is about to air or it has started to air. I also don't know which channel it will be shown in. These days, I only watch the news. So, I took this phrase as what its words suggested to me.

Beyond The Gates

I wonder what lies past those gates since
my path was choked with vine and thorn
for I was into unknown born, light or dark
or just what awaits here?

Is wonder in there or whispered doom
or just a tomb in a secret world?
At the threshold, I stand and stare...
another step? I don't dare.

Beyond those gates, shadows moan and creep
silence stirs, too dark, too deep, and
guarding a grim unknown, the hinges
now begin to groan

and for what lies past those iron gates
I'm gripped with fear for what awaits...
