Hellfire Plea Songtext
von Solomon & Lang

Met with the reaper on a cold autumns eve
His eyes showed me sorrows that you wouldn′t believe
With an outstretched hand we made a pact
He can take my soul leave my flesh intact

Oh your god won't forgive me now
The things I′ve seen and done
Oh there's a cold sweat on my brow
It freezes still under the sun

I've been told my future and it ain′t sweet
I pray death′s kind when we do meet
I've done his deeds my blood runs cold
I lost my guilt when I lost my soul

Oh your god won′t forgive me now
The things I've seen and done
Oh there′s a cold sweat on my brow
And It freezes still under the sun


Oh these brimstone bones rattle loud
Hear my Hellfire plea
Oh I've met the devil and I made him proud.
I beg for you to take me

There′s only so good that you can be
Soon the snake will lead you to the tree
There's no use tryin' to save yourself
Embrace the dark in sick or in health

Oh your god won′t forgive me now
The things I′ve seen and done
Oh there's a cold sweat on my brow
And It freezes still under the sun

I went drinking with the devil in a hole in the ground
Hey barman pour us another round
I′ll drink my whiskey and order it neat
There's no need for ice in the fiery deep

Oh your god won′t forgive me now
The things I've seen and done
Oh there′s a cold sweat on my brow
And It freezes still under the sun


Oh these brimstone bones rattle loud
Hear my Hellfire plea
Oh I've met the devil and I made him proud
I beg for you to take me
