Behind Hell's Gates

 

What is this place of tortured mind

where all alone I spend my time

the heat too great for one to bear

and anguish cause such great despair

Where all alone I spend my time

remembering I was alive

and anguish cause such great despair

while wondering did someone care

Remembering I was alive

and had my turn within my prime

while wondering did someone care

did one know yet that I'd be here

And had my turn within my prime

that I'd be lost this paradigm

did one know yet that I'd be here

and speak their words that I'd be cleared

That I'd be lost this paradigm

and I'd be saved not spend a dime

and speak their words that I'd be cleared

not say a prayer that God might hear

And I'd be saved not spend a dime

for other things were on their minds

not say a prayer that God might hear

nor mission send that I might fear

For other things were on their minds

while I was lost within my crime

nor mission send that I might fear

deliver me from wretched sphere

While I was lost within my crime

now wailing is my constant chime

deliver me from wretched sphere

and gnashing teeth that I must drear

Now wailing is my constant chime

for God's salvation I denied

and gnashing teeth that I must drear

I'll spend eternity in tears

For God's salvation I denied

the cross upon which Jesus died

I'll spend eternity in tears

while resurrected life so near
