Hell And Back
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.
There is nowhere else I can run to
She is wretched but she comforts me
After everyone goes home
She's always there for me
And when the sun goes hellbound
And the moon does resurrect the night
I'll hide within her
Not much good has come out the light
After everyone goes home
And I'm left here on my own
I will run straight to hell and back
Straight to hell and back
When they turn out all their lights
And I'm left to brood at night
Always return to hell and back
Straight to hell and back
Straight down yeah
A lonely light in a window
Just longing for some company
Tragic, heartless and hateful
But there's nothing as willing as she
And when the night has fallen
It falls hard and then it all begins
When she starts her calling
I feel my darkness growing from within
After everyone goes home
And I'm left here on my own
I will run straight to hell and back
Straight to hell and back
When they turn out all their lights
And I'm left to brood at night
Always return to hell and back
Straight to hell and back
Straight to hell and back
I will run straight to hell and back
I become two
We become one
Unbridled... Unequaled... Unholy... Undone
The path is cut deep
The path is worn well
I'll follow my footsteps to the warmth of hell
The warmth of hell
After everyone goes home
And I'm left here on my own
I will run straight to hell and back
Straight to hell and back
Straight to hell and back
When they turn out all their lights
And I'm left to brood at night
Always return to hell and back
Return to hell and back
Straight to hell and back
Straight to hell and back
I will run straight to hell and back
Straight down
