To Hell and Back Again

Oh, Lord have mercy
I've travelled all my life
To a place that's long forgotten
A place that's in my mind

I hurt the ones that loved me
The beast could not be tamed
Bringing hate and agony
Why should I be ashamed

Bridge

A journey full of lies
My heart as cold as ice
Let your spirit be your guide
To the gates of paradise

Chorus

Again - to hell and back again

Oh, Lord have mercy
Don't you turn your back on me
I sold my soul to darkness
For the promise to be free

I washed my hands in innocennce
I cursed your Holy Son
Raped the soul of freedom
Oh, Lord what have I done
