lyrics

I stand right now in front of hell
the road was rocky but it's just as well
The world outside is all concrete
figure 8 highways now obsolete
and interstates hung in the air
a grave mistake but could we care?
the world is a map of lines and dots
a midnight drive of lonely thoughts
and I'm alone in my truck
driving this freight full of out-of-luck

a chorus of angels are screaming hallelujah
an orchestra of devils are stringing hallelujah
i will shout it out now, hallelujah x2

All the apostles on Diamond street
are shining the shoes on their holy feet
That was life in the synagogue
a platform for the demagogue
even the honest are not so bold
to suggest hellfire for the cold
the brimstone rains come and go
when we've been saved will we even know?
and out of the clouds we all fell
but it's so nice down here in hell

a chorus of angels are screaming hallelujah
an orchestra of devils are stringing hallelujah
i will shout it out now hallelujah x2
this is good this is under me x2

when I start losin faith I can blame it on the angels
and this is what will make sense when I believe in nothing
and I sure hope that God's not dead
cuz all this air will go to my head
and while we're sitting down here we can have a conversation
in the time that it takes to give me an explanation
and then you told me that will is still free
but I have a hard time believing what I see

i saw all that lava from your eyes come streaming
and the echo of my consicence said I must be dreaming
and then you started speaking in tongues
while all of this sulfur started filling my lungs.
even though we gotta go down on our own time
I can find it in me to consider this a crime
but I will not submit to fate
this lack of faith that I cannot escape
