Lyrics

Hell

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.

Oh, I have seen the light

And all I wanted was to put it out

And I heard about peace, love and good

I felt like destroying it all, as soon as I understood.

So when offered the sacred blood of Jesus Christ

For once I spat in the cup

And for each time you prayed 'save him'

I threw you spells, saying 'piss in the eye of the lamb'

Holy father, I turned from you

Threw the cross into the fire

Your name I deny

May the kingdom, the power and glory be taken from thee

I close my eyes, now I dream of Hell

I've been walking for long

Through the valley of the shadow of death

Lucifer's light guiding me

On my path made of remains from people like you

I'd rather spend my eternity in a lake of fire

Than together with you

Praying sheep, stinking church rats, your empty smiles

Make me nauseous and eager to kill

Still no conscience, still no regrets after all that I've done

'Cause I've never felt anything but contempt and scorn

For this world and mankind

A human life is worth nothing to me

I've dreamt of sulphur spheres

Where black's the lightest nuance

And I've seen you suffer there

In anguish. In tormenting void

And each night, in the rivers of all-consuming fire

And that fire remains within me wherever I walk

All my hate is but love for the Lord

My tongue's cloven like the snakes, sharp as the sword

With which the lambs shall be slaughtered

To water the soil with holy blood

Walk into me, wander beyond the grace of god

Into starless nights

Soon to enter, the kingdom of shadows in abyssal grave

Wield your knives, fight for what is wrong!
