Flames of Hell Lyrics by The Widow’s Bane

Don’t Be Afraid, It’s Only Death

2013

Back before the streets had names
You used to get lost out in the rain
Oh, the cul-de-sac was always the same
And, each time you would swear in vain
That you would never find your way back there again
Oh, look how far you came
It's-a rainin' cats and dogs
You made another wrong turn again
If you can't prepare for the journey, prepare for the end
God ain't no naiive rube, He sees everything you do
He's like Santy Claus, he pays up for your sins
All that remains
Are shadows and rain
And oh, one will blame you
For saving yourself
Oh, but the flames
Oh, yes the flames
Well, the flames of Hell
Flames of Hell!
Well, you can leave all that shines to go diggin' in the dark dirty mines
But what you trade will be worth more than gold
Yeah, touch all the life you can
Clutch it in your clammy little hands
In the end, my friend, you will grow old
And all the love you were chasing now
Turns like a pack of dogs
And all the power you were waiting for
Was nothing but your breath in the fog
All that remains
Are shadows and rain
And oh, one will blame you
For saving yourself
Oh, but the flames
Oh, yes the flames
Well, the flames of Hell
The flames of Hell!
Back before the streets had names
You used to get lost out in the rain
Oh, the cul-de-sac was always the same
