The Widow's Bane - The Flames Of Hell текст песни

Back before the streets had names
You used to get lost out in the rain.
Oh the culdesac was always the same.

And each time you would swear in vain
That you'd never find your way back there again.
Oh look how far you came.

It's a-rainin' cats and dogs.
You made another wrong turn again.
If ya can't prepare for the journey
Prepare for the end.

God ain't no naive rube.
He sees everything you do.
He's like Santa Claus.
He pays ya for your sins.

And all that remains
Is shadows and rain
And no one will blame you
For saving yourself
But the flames--
Yes the flames--the flames of hell.

Well you can leave all that shines
To go diggin' in the dark, dirty mines
But what you trade will be worth more than gold.

Yeah touch of the life ya can.
Clutch it in your clammy little hand.
But in the end, my friend, you will grow old.

And all the love you were chasing now
Turns like a pack of dogs.
And all the power you were waiting for
Is nothing but your breath in the fog.

And all that remains
Is shadows and rain
And no one will blame you
For saving yourself
But the flames--
Yes the flames--the flames of hell.

Back before the streets had names
You used to get lost in the rain.
Oh, the culdesac was always the same.
