Lyrics
Heaven and 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.
On top of the sky is a place where you go if you've done nothing wrong
If you've done nothing wrong
And down in the ground is a place where you go if you've been a bad boy
If you've been a bad boy
Why can't we have eternal life
And never die
Never die?
In the place up above you grow feather wings and you fly round and round
With a harp singing hymns
And down in the ground you grow horns and a tail and you carry a fork
And burn away
Why can't we have eternal life
And never die
Never die?
On top of the sky is a place where you go if you've done nothing wrong
If you've done nothing wrong
And down in the ground is a place where you go if you've been a bad boy
If you've been a bad boy
Why can't we have eternal life
And never die
Never die? (x2)
