One day I'll die and I'll be underground
Farther and father, I'll travel down
Into the burrows and into the depths
Hotter and hotter the closer I get.

Descending, repenting until I stop
Hitting the bottom, a great floor of rock
The stones, how they'll burn, that's how it begins
The rest of my death will be torment for sins. 

An eye for a lie, my tongue heresy
My limbs and my flesh will be torn terribly
My bones will be ripped from my muscles and skin
A boil and bruise for each-every sin.

My blood will be drained in the fiery lake
My head be cut-off and put onto a stake
And after all this, in my second death
I'll still feel each cut and be very alive. 

Oh yes, when I die I'll feel nothing but pain
But even in Hell, life's deadly refrain
I'll be content among all the strife
For being in Hell means I truly lived life.
