lirik lagu the wages of sin - stull
sometimes a man who tries to live right
is reduced to wicked acts in the night
like to say i’m on the righteous path
but i done things that might incur god’s wrath
so now i’m standin’ here on sacred ground
i gasped, as i begin to drown
yes, i shot that shopkeep to feed my hungry wife
now i’m goin’ to satan to fix my wretched life
you have the key, so what will you do?
open up the gate and you go on through
as the door swings wide, will you cower and kneel?
offer up your soul and make your deal
this is the spot where the fallen come
the wicked weep and thе weak succumb
seven gatеways, each marked with a skull
why in god’s name is there one here in stull?
i opened up my eyes, the words were said
light shone around me, an unearthly shade of red
the hounds of h~ll did wail and persist
and a dark figure stepped up within the mist
is that the devil as i understood?
or st. michael come to shut the gate for good?
the mist parted and the figure was revealed
was the county sheriff come to take me back to jail
you have the key, so what will you do?
open up the gate and you go on through
as the door swings wide, will you cower and kneel?
offer up your soul and make your deal
this is the spot where the fallen come
the wicked weep and the weak succumb
seven gateways, each marked with a skull
why in god’s name is there one here in stull?
as the police led me away in chains
i looked over at that broken~down church
and i saw a tall figure standin’ there
he was dressed in black
and he had a shock of white hair
that stood up on his head like lightnin’
and he spoke, as though to a ghostly congregation
but i felt he was preaching directly to me
and he raised his hands and in each one he had a venemous serpent
that hissed and snapped but they did not bite him
and he said: “my friends
will you follow the path of the righteous?
or will you suffer the torments of the d~mned?
you know what waits for you down there in the depths, sinner?
down there in the darkness, in the smoke?
“where they’ll pull out your eyes and replace them with hot coals
where they’ll rip out your tongue when you open your mouth to scream
and where you will spend eternity
on a bed of broken glass that is crawling with foul things
while your ears ring with the screams of the tormented
“is that what you want, sinner? is that what you want?
is that where you want to spend your eternity?
then why wait? why wait?
why don’t we open the gates right now?
why don’t we open the gates right now? right now, sinner!”
open up! (open up!)
open up! (open up!)
open up!
and cast me down the hole!
open up! (open up!)
open up! (open up!)
open up!
so i can d~mn my shameful soul
he said:
“it won’t work for a god~fearin’ man”
it won’t work for a god~fearin’ man
“it won’t work for a god~fearin’ man”
a god~fearin’ man, in glory must live
“it won’t work for a god~fearin’ man”
it won’t work for a god~fearin’ man
“it won’t work for a god~fearin’ man”
’cause a god~fearin’ man don’t own a soul to give
