Hellhound (Hell's Come Knocking)
The underbelly of the city
Everyone’s place to hide
Where the light can’t see and the dark can’t hear
Your dirty secrets lurk inside
The smell of sulphur hangs in the air
The taste of death and lies
You said you don’t fear hell which is just as well cos
Heaven’s door is locked from the inside
You can call it hell by any other name
Hades don’t really mind
Gehenna don’t care this I can swear
She’s only biding time
Sheol is waiting for a man to come
He’ll turn over every stone
Doesn’t matter how deep or far or wide
He’s coming to take you home
Link:
You think you’re safe
Say you don’t care
But he’s on your trail
You’re locked in his stare
Chorus:
The hellhound is running, a saviour is coming
It’s a justice overload
He’s a man with the vision, a laser incision
Of truth in the danger zone
If your grip is slipping and life is dripping
Away he won’t let you go
But if it’s you that is causing the pain and the heartache
Hell’s come knocking to claim your soul
The road to Perdition is paved with gold
And everyone sees the signs
Cerberus howls a three headed roar
And the neon locusts shine
If you’re trying to hide your history
And sell off all your land
You better hope and pray that the light of day
Doesn’t uncover your dirty hands
Link:
You think you’re safe
Say you don’t care
But he’s on your trail
You’re locked in his stare
Chorus:
The hellhound is running, a saviour is coming
It’s a justice overload
He’s a man with the vision, a laser incision
Of truth in the danger zone
If your grip is slipping and life is dripping
Away he won’t let you go
But if it’s you that is causing the pain and the heartache
Hell’s come knocking to claim your soul
