What is "hell"?

Hell can be fire and flames

endless torment or resented names

But hell can be more than dread

Hell can be a place of what you make of it

Walking like you are just "the shit"

Looking past all the dread

you could hear the cling of pianos and plucking of banjos

recreating the best music of your favorite band though!

The illusion of living is only the beginning

Once the facade is broken and the ropes are cut

The fates are sealed and the gates are shut

You can see the brighter side of hell

If only through the pain you can tell

but youll never know how to see through the dread

not until you keel over dead
