Hands to your hymnals

Hell's at the door

It bellows and it growls and it roars

I was snared by a sickness

Some fever in my lungs

Hold my language like an armor

And thin brand on my tongue (ah)

Ooh-ooh-ooh

I spilled blood in the water

Then let the storm roll in

I put my hands in the fire

Watched my welcome wear thin

Salt in my wounds and spit in my eye

I burned the path you walk on

And I let none survive

We are painted with the fear that if

The sea recedes it never comes back

But there are two things I know for sure

I will be free

I will be free

I will be free

And you can't cheat death

Can't cheat death

Can't cheat death

Can't cheat death

Head full of poison

The devil in your heart

You're a dark toothed liar

And you're caught up in smoke

Pour acid in your glass

And I watch you talk

I rue the day I met you

And I curse the words you spoke

I ain't your savior

I ain't your saint

I cut the rope you keep me on

And I dug up your grave

You're envious of ghosts

And whether hands are dead

You got no marrow in them bones

Just trouble and sin

We are painted with the fear that if

The sea recedes it never comes back

But there are two things I know for sure

I will be free

I will be free

I will be free

And you can't cheat death

Can't cheat death

You can't cheat death

Can't cheat death

You can't cheat death

Can't cheat

Can't cheat death

Can't cheat death

Can't cheat
