[Verse 1]
How long must I stay?
How long must I go on?
Taking my chances, I'm running away
Don't take away my daylight, don't take away my freedom
Why must I go
[Chorus]
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
[Verse 2]
Will I make the morning to see another day?
The Gods, they come at midnight
They're taking me away
I'm waiting here on death row, I pray for my reprieve
Why must I go
[Chorus]
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
[Verse 3]
The chaplain and the gardener, have told me how to die
I've used up all my chances, now's the time to cry
I can hear the footsteps, the lights have just gone dim
I'm on the final journey
[Chorus]
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Will I make the morning to see another day?
The Gods, they come at midnight
They're taking me away
I'm sitting here on death row, I pray for my reprieve
Why must I go
[Chorus]
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
[Verse 3]
The chaplain and the gardener, have told me how to die
I've used up all my chances, now's my time to cry
I can hear the footsteps, the lights have just gone dim
I'm on my final journey
[Chorus]
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
