Land of the Dead

Take my hand little girl, wipe the tears from your eyes In the land of the dead, we'll forget all our lives Lay them down, all your hopes and fears Leave behind all the bitter years, and years, and years, and years Feel the dark clutch your heart, still it beats like a drum In the land of the dead all our kingdoms will come We've dug our graves and we feel so proud It's honest work, and it pays so well, so well, so well, well, well, well An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth 'Til the whole world is blind, there's your ultimate truth There is no just reward, no wages of sin No Hades or Elysium just sweet oblivion Say your prayers little girl, lift the stain of your sin If the Lord won't forgive, you will never get in Beneath the ground, how you'll toss and turn Restlessly awaiting his return, you yearn, you yearn, you yearn An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth 'Til the whole world is blind, there's your ultimate truth There is no just reward, no wages of sin No Hades or Elysium just sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet oblivion The world falls away, and the sky is on fire Let me show you the way, let me quench your desire Just hold out your hand and let it all go To the land of the dead, let us walk among the shadows So pray for a sign from the merciful void Let the blood flow like wine, let your pain be destroyed With a flutter of wings and a flicker of light Won't you come and take a walk with me into eternal night
