Storm The Gates Of Heaven Lyrics

Storm The Gates Of Heaven lyrics

[sound of creaky door opening]

 [laughter]

 Oh!

 Hello!

 

 Have^ you ever thought^ as the hearse goes by

 That^ you may be the next to die?

 They wrap you in a big white sheet

 And then they burry you eight feet deep*

 And then

 Your casket^ begins to leak!

 Ah ha!*

 

 The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out

 The worms play pinochle on your snout

 Your liver^ turns a slimy green

 And pus runs out like big whipped^ cream

 Your eyeballs, they turn to cherry red*

 And that's what you look^ like^ when you are dead

 

 Storm the gates of heaven

 Hold your head up high

 Storm the gates of heaven

 Look God right in the eye

 Storm the gates of heaven

 If anyone could do it, I could!

 Storm the gates of heaven

 And ask God "Who's gonna pay for the blood?"

 Who's gonna pay for the blood?

 

 Trials and tribulations

 Oppressed and made ashamed

 Life for land, death for kingdom

 You've just changed your name

 False prophets in their armour

 Destruction at their feet

 Onward Christian soldiers,

 Marching to the beat

 Marching to the beat

 Beat

 

 Storm the gates of heaven

 The church of Man is lost

 Storm the gates of heaven

 Gonna take it to the Boss

 Storm the gates of heaven

 Twisted 'round and 'round and 'round

 Storm the gates of heaven,

 Children of the Lamb

 Children of the Lamb

 

 Traveling tabernacles

 Armed with spears and guns

 Power of persuasion

 Run, you heathen ,run

 Bound in false conversion

 Mourning night and day

 Carcass of the jackel

 On your knees and pray

 On your knees and pray

 

 Storm the gates of heaven

 Knocking at your door

 Storm the gates of heaven

 The truth and nothing more

 Storm the gates of heaven

 How my heart has cried

 Storm the gates of heaven

 And I'll meet you in the sweet by and by

 In the sweet by and by

 

 I was there at the Inquisition

 I was there at the witchcraft trials

 I was there when they murdered Montezuma

 And they destroyed the Aztec empire

 Using God's name to murder

 and to steal other people's land

 Using His name to persecute

 And take away the freedom of Man

 And take away the freedom of Man

 

 Storm the gates of heaven

 Raise your heads up high

 Storm the gates of heaven

 Look God right in the eye

 If anyone could do it, I could, you could!

 We could storm the gates of heaven

 and ask God, "Who's gonna pay for the blood?"

 Who's gonna pay for the blood?

 Who's gonna pay for the blood?
