There's a place you can go
Where the blood doth flow
And the heat burns the hair off your skin
Where the sky is red
So the preacher said
And the good guys never win
There's a place I'm told
Where you soul is made cold
As it's thrown in a bucket of ice
But your body's on fire
Like a funeral pyre
This is how you pay the price
It's a price you will pay
Every single day and
Night of eternity
For the wicked don't rest
'till they pass his test
Then at last they can be free
What have they done wrong
To be trapped so long
With the king of the six-six-six?
It's a culmination
Of infuriation
With a dash of lies and tricks
Almost certainly
This is where you'll be
In a hundred years or so
There's no point having fear
As the end draws near
And the flame of your life don't glow
Where the blood doth flow
And the heat burns the hair off your skin
Where the sky is red
So the preacher said
And the good guys never win
There's a place I'm told
Where you soul is made cold
As it's thrown in a bucket of ice
But your body's on fire
Like a funeral pyre
This is how you pay the price
It's a price you will pay
Every single day and
Night of eternity
For the wicked don't rest
'till they pass his test
Then at last they can be free
What have they done wrong
To be trapped so long
With the king of the six-six-six?
It's a culmination
Of infuriation
With a dash of lies and tricks
Almost certainly
This is where you'll be
In a hundred years or so
There's no point having fear
As the end draws near
And the flame of your life don't glow
