I’m waiting outside the gates of heaven
I’ve been on your trail since the last we spoke
Oh brother, heaven is just a word
I’m counting the days of trust lost with fate
And since you’ve been praying outside the wrong gate
Let me tell you brother heaven is just a word
Oh you’ve been looming by the gates of hell
and it’s not my kind to refuse a wretched soul
Oh brother hell is not a word
I’m taking my time to take you to dryland
And isn’t that a sweet promise, to hang you where you stand?
Oh brother, hell is not a word
oh when the devil comes down, you’ll be on your knees and pray
oh when the devil comes down, you’ll be on your knees and pray
“Death, be my friend” but you’d better run, run
My hands are on fire, from crawling down below,
So I’m going up to heaven to bring you down home
And when the angels find I’m coming, oh brother they’d better run, run
oh when the devil comes down, you’ll be on your knees and pray
oh when the devil comes down, you’ll be on your knees and pray
“Death, be my friend”
I’m on my knees, begging you please, please
I’ve been up to heaven to seek the greater god
But brother, heaven was just a word
Now I raise my cup to the next god in line,
but I’m doomed to be myself for evermore
Oh brother, what if death is just a thought?
Would that move you? Move you?
If you see him coming, you’d better run, run
Just keep on waiting by the gates of hell
and it’s not my kind to refuse a wretched soul
Oh brother this hell is not for show
My hands are on fire, from crawling down below,
I would go up to heaven just to bring you down home
Oh brother, death is not a thought
oh when the devil comes down, you’ll be on your knees and pray
oh when the devil comes down, you’ll be on your knees and pray
“Death, oh Death be my friend”
