Stoking Up the Fires of Hell

I see the clouds before me Are falling from the sky The sun is getting dimmer In the atmosphere up high My presence of mind is shifting Like sand upon a dune My sundial’s lost it’s moon Everything is getting dark I cannot see my hands Shadows all around me Make this a fearful land I see a storm is brewing As lightning fills the sky Now I see before me The devil tells no lies Stoking up the fires of hell Yes I’m burning Stoking up the fires of hell The chapters keep on turning Rock of ages Starts to crumble to the ground Cities fall into the sea Destruction all around The world will now disintegrate The Devil takes his toll With his powers of evil His journey carries on With his new born children The thunder will reign With destruction all around The Devil saves his face

Ooh, turn out the lights So I can’t see your face Don’t tell me your name, I don’t care When you leave in the morning forget where you’ve been You’re making this one night affair You know it’s starting Twisting a knife through my brain You know it’s starting Playing your silly games Give me a place, fill the hole in my life But I’d frankly stand through the night Use your emotion, not a man who sits there So maybe I’ll get me some self satisfaction You know it’s starting Twisting a knife through my brain Inside, outside Laying it down on somebody new Inside, outside Making me decide what you gotta do People running through my head Round in circles, yeah Can’t stop things running through my head Open your mind to the one in your bed Turn out the lights So I can’t see your face Don’t tell me your name, I don’t care When you leave in the morning forget where you’ve been You’re making this one night affair You know it’s starting Twisting a knife through my brain Round, round, round People running round in circles Round People running round in circles
