Hell Below

I sowed the salt but the bitter weeds grow I fear a heaven above for the hell below I wept when guilt by association started in irony Avoiding its eyes bowing three times I watched as hopes expire under the weight of standards I create and betray One day they sunk hungry fangs into the hand that feeds A hand that bleeds In trying to stifle their voices I bowed their limbs, they bowed my knees Struck to silence by the gavel Make them bleed for playing God I sowed the salt but the bitter weeds grow I fear a heaven above for the hell below Hell below Lost in the waves of a sea of fire One million portraits to fan the flame Burned in effigy: A fitting end to a cult of personality Struck to silence by the gavel Make them bleed for playing God I sowed the salt but the bitter weeds grow I fear a heaven above for the hell below Hell below Called to the judgement seat Eye for an eye, watch a man playing God bleed Eye for an eye, watch a man playing God bleed Eye for an eye, watch a man playing God bleed Struck to silence by the gavel Make them bleed for playing God I sowed the salt but the bitter weeds grow I fear a heaven above more than the hell below Hell below Turn to the last page To see just how this ends I fear a heaven above for the hell below I fear a heaven above for the hell below (The sea of fire) I fear a heaven above for the hell
