Hell at My Back Lyrics


I've gone as far as I can break

Her funeral left all in its wider wake

I'm damned but still I'm running

My assassins, still they're coming

Suitors commence

The future repents

Beauty looked me in the face

I sold my soul for her embrace

But Heaven was a fleeting taste

And Hell came openly

Disfigurement and exile further woe

Cast from castle walls to serve below

Cradled in her arms and then let go

To the moat and potent sea

With a love so overwhelming me

Tragedy just came to be

Garrotted by the past

Laughed at by the scars

Got it in the arse

By the Lightning God's decree

Destined to fester

Where time's ripples echo tsunamis

Never knowing what the morrow brings for me

I'm a fallen angel on the wing

What words of sorrow will they sing for me

As I face my plight eternal?

Murder on the Devil's highway

Dark figures point clawed fingers my way

What wicked debts will I repay

Dragged screaming to the pit?

Hunted like a dog

Unrelenting on the scent of loss

Demons ravage everyone I cross

I'm a fugitive under-lit

From a hate so overwhelming me

I feel the heat scourge at my back

Burning with the past

How long can I last?

Horror sits aghast

At the frightening depths I've seen

Courting the onslaught

This is what they get if they fuck with me!

Never knowing what the morrow brings for me

I'm a fallen angel on the wing

What words of sorrow will they sing for me

As I face this night eternal?

As I face my plight eternal

The flood is quickening

The dark is drawing in like vulture claws

My blood is thickening for the war

When the moon's been taken by the storm

And the night is rife with tribulation

Think of me as I have you, lovelorn

Our day will come, whatever the sum…

Of our suffering

Our day will come, whatever the sum…

Of our suffering
