All Gone to Hell

Wide awake, wide awake
Hear the silence hiss
Will you break, will you break
Iron binds your wrist

In your face, in your face
See the others flinch
Iron law, iron claw
Don't you move an inch

Strike toward the one you love
Throw the dark ones down
Velvet fist, the iron glove
The lost one now is found

Don't you ask me why and when
I will never tell
Life was so much stranger then
But that's all gone to hell

Make a start, make a start
Open up the door
In the dark, in the dark
Who could ask for more?

You are blind, you are blind
Wish that you were deaf
In the mind, in your mind
Hear the serpent's breath

Fight the demons in your head
Watch until the dawn
We all heard the words we said
We all braved the storm

Never show the ones within
What we do or sell
Life is so much safer now
But it's all gone to hell

In the night, in the night
Hear your shadow breathe
Feel the bite, feel the bite
No-one will believe

By your side, by your side
Beware of shadows now
Kiss your bride, kiss the bride
Seal your marriage now

You must be much braver boy
Then you ever dreamed
Or your world will be destroyed
By the small and mean

You must stand, and fight them hard
You must never run
You must be a shining star
Do what must be done

Don't you ask me why or how
You must lift the spell
Life could be much more than this
Unless we've gone to hell
