Took me half a lifetime now I understand the cost I pay
Almost lost my damn mind figuring out how to get away
Taken under the wings of philosophers who were not saved
Dashing, daring, courageous, but might as well all be depraved
Can you comprehend the punishment for apathy
Distilling your thoughts of socialized anarchy
Depressed and lonely, historical your cause
You're down here only because of one flaw
Entering through the gateway
This is hell, made for heroes
From here on, there is no day
Enter the city of woes
Welcome to hell
Spent all of my life pursuing things that won't go my way
Terrified that one lost moment might make me lose my chance
All I have before me is a future of all work and no pay
Not helping anyone but myself, and for my ignorance?
Walled inside a city that they call a paradise in hell
If you could join me you would know how bad it burns
There is no way to convey the torture, no way to tell
My soul was traded for the life I led, I should have learned
Entering through the gateway
This is hell, made for heroes
From here on, there is no day
Enter the city of woes
Woe be unto us!
I see the vampirism begin
The hounds of hell I call my friends
I see bodies tattooed in sin
My savage brethren rise again
Engraving madness on their skin
Detonations of their kin
I hear the screaming from within
Of psychopaths and lizard men
I feel the ground shake from hundreds
Thousands of feet of walking dead
Of boiling flesh and severed heads
One day you too will wake up dead
Entering through the gateway
This is hell, made for heroes
From here on, there is no day
Enter the city of woes
