Storm The Gates Of Heaven
4
[sound of creaky door opening]
5
[laughter]
6
Oh!
7
Hello!
8
Have^ you ever thought^ as the hearse goes by
9
That^ you may be the next to die?
10
They wrap you in a big white sheet
11
And then they burry you eight feet deep*
12
And then
13
Your casket^ begins to leak!
14
Ah ha!*
15
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
16
The worms play pinochle on your snout
17
Your liver^ turns a slimy green
18
And pus runs out like big whipped^ cream
19
Your eyeballs, they turn to cherry red*
20
And that's what you look^ like^ when you are dead
21
Storm the gates of heaven
22
Hold your head up high
23
Storm the gates of heaven
24
Look God right in the eye
25
Storm the gates of heaven
26
If anyone could do it, I could!
27
Storm the gates of heaven
28
And ask God "Who's gonna pay for the blood?"
29
Who's gonna pay for the blood?
30
Trials and tribulations
31
Oppressed and made ashamed
32
Life for land, death for kingdom
33
You've just changed your name
34
False prophets in their armour
35
Destruction at their feet
36
Onward Christian soldiers,
37
Marching to the beat
38
Marching to the beat
39
Beat
40
Storm the gates of heaven
41
The church of Man is lost
42
Storm the gates of heaven
43
Gonna take it to the Boss
44
Storm the gates of heaven
45
Twisted 'round and 'round and 'round
46
Storm the gates of heaven,
47
Children of the Lamb
48
Children of the Lamb
49
Traveling tabernacles
50
Armed with spears and guns
51
Power of persuasion
52
Run, you heathen ,run
53
Bound in false conversion
54
Mourning night and day
55
Carcass of the jackel
56
On your knees and pray
57
On your knees and pray
58
Storm the gates of heaven
59
Knocking at your door
60
Storm the gates of heaven
61
The truth and nothing more
62
Storm the gates of heaven
63
How my heart has cried
64
Storm the gates of heaven
65
And I'll meet you in the sweet by and by
66
In the sweet by and by
67
I was there at the Inquisition
68
I was there at the witchcraft trials
69
I was there when they murdered Montezuma
70
And they destroyed the Aztec empire
71
Using God's name to murder
72
and to steal other people's land
73
Using His name to persecute
74
And take away the freedom of Man
75
And take away the freedom of Man
76
Storm the gates of heaven
77
Raise your heads up high
78
Storm the gates of heaven
79
Look God right in the eye
80
If anyone could do it, I could, you could!
81
We could storm the gates of heaven
82
and ask God, "Who's gonna pay for the blood?"
83
Who's gonna pay for the blood?
84
Who's gonna pay for the blood?
85
