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
