Verse 1
I walked down through the iron gate, They checked my name and cursed my fate. The fires rose to drag me low, The river boiled against the toe. I took a step upon the flame, They tried to brand a heavy name. The iron bent, the pillars cracked, There was no chain that held me back.
Chorus
'Cause Hell just spits me on the floor, And Heaven locks an iron door. The devil choked upon my sin, And God says I can't enter in. No pitchfork holds, no halo shines, I’m lost between the borderlines.
Verse 2
I climbed up to the golden stair, I knocked and whispered half a prayer. A voice came down from blinding light, And told me I was out of sight. "Your hands are stained, your soul is gray, There is no room for you today. "They turned the key, they turned the screw, There is no grace prepared for you.
Chorus
'Cause Hell just spits me on the floor, And Heaven locks an iron door. The devil choked upon my sin, And God says I can't enter in. No pitchfork holds, no halo shines, I’m lost between the borderlines.
Bridge
Too bad for the fire, Too bad for the throne. Walking the wire, Forever alone. Not a saint, not a sinner, Just dust on the road.
Outro
Hell couldn't hold me. Heaven didn't want me. Just me and the shadow. Walking the road…
