Description
A man dies, and then lives the trials of his death before learning to let go of his demons and be reborn with a new understanding of the world.
Lyrics
I passed through the Gates of Hell on a Monday morning The Devil came and took me without warning I died in a church where no one knew my name I laid on the floor 'til the undertaker came No one heard my call, 'cause I made no sound at all Three days later I descended to my grave I met my demons where they lived within me I fought them off with nothing to defend me But the more I saw the light, the less I had to fight And I realized what became of me Free from the bonds that tie the living down Like a spectre roaming through the night With visions of a distant sunlit town I keep moving closer to the light I was born to raise some Hell on an Easter Sunday But no one heard the news until that one day When they christened me with blood and a prophet's name From that day on the world had me to blame But as long as I can endure One thing I know for sure The Lord has mercy on everlasting soul
