The Dead
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Heaven… or Hell
Heaven… or Hell
Where are we now? What is this place?
"Don't you remember little brother? We died… we're dead"
But what are they gonna do to me? Am I going to Hell?
"I don't know, but that's what THEY say
I will try to find you another soul"
"Listen… do you hear that organ play?"
"I must go to where the organ plays
I must go but I can never stay…
Now to this house I go"
Don't let anyone see your bloody dress
