The Nine Hells

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I lived a life that wasn't kind, I killed my share of men So when the reaper came for me, I knew he was no friend He cast me down to Avernus, where the river Styx ran red I fought the devil legions there, and armies of the dead [Chorus] Down in the Nine Hells there's no hope, no comfort and no rest So you who live please heed my words, the lawful life is best Yes, the lawful life is best [Verse 2] My next stop was the town of Dis, with Spinagons and Imps Whose torture of their prisoners, showed mercy not a glimpse From there I fell to Minauros, a swamp and stinkin' bog The acid rain burned through my flesh, consumed me with the fog [Chorus] Down in the Nine Hells there's no hope, no comfort and no rest So you who live please heed my words, the lawful life is best Yes, the lawful life is best [Verse 3] And Phlegethos was the next in line, where fire burned my soul Cast in a lake of boiling filth, drowned by hounds and trolls I fell through ice in Stygia, and Malbolge broke my bones Maladomini singed my lungs, and Cania froze my stones [Chorus] Down in the Nine Hells there's no hope, no comfort and no rest So you who live please heed my words, the lawful life is best Yes, the lawful life is best
