SINNERS

As the gates of hell are swinging shut behind you
I can see you’re filled with dread that something’s wrong
so before you start descending into madness
let me try to make you feel that you belong

you are invited to my dance

all the poor tormented souls down here are coming
every sinner ’waits my feast with bated breath
while the torchlight sets the river Styx aglowing
haunting music brings alive the smell of death

a night of devilry will welcome you to hell
the height of revelry will make you glad you fell

your salvation is a dance in my dark realm
celebrations are like heaven here in hell
just pay me for your ticket
everything you crave is there
confess to being wicked
the cost of your admission is fair

you’ll find the parties that I throw are all eternal
once inside, my guests are hard to tear away
how they love the sweet caress of fire and brimstone
just one taste and they’re all praying they can stay

while there’s no need for a written invitation
RSVP me an answer for your sin
with a smile to say you’ll join our congregation
there it is, amen, my friend, just step right in

a night of devilry will welcome you to hell
the height of revelry will make you glad you fell
