lyrics

I'll See you in Hell

I watched you leave your tomb each night
Return before morning light
My love was like the evening star
Far away but ever bright
Wishing I could go to you
Something I could never do
Cuz people have to live by day
Even if their days are gray
Give me the gift 
Give me the gift

I'll see you in hell my dear
Got to be better than here
I'll see you in Hell
You know I followed you right down the well

I hated you for your hellishness
Your acts of utter selfishness
But starving for your company
Never seeing you Sundays
I prayed for divine assistance
To bolster my resistance
But felt my resolve wavering
Like a honeymoon bride trembling
Give me the gift 
Give me the gift

I'll see you in hell my dear
Got to be better than here
I'll see you in Hell
You know I followed you right down the well

When winter dusts our hair with frost
I'll know that all hope is lost
Staring in a mirror cracked
I saw nothing looking back
The nighttime wraps her arms around me
The daylight's just a memory
But this is the dark suit I chose
To walk with you on down your road
Give me the gift 
Give me the gift

I'll see you in hell my dear
Got to be better than here
I'll see you in Hell
You know I followed you right down the well
