You bathe in sorrow, drowning in hate
You kill tomorrow, fighting against the fates
Raise hell, wipe that smile off your face
Raise hell, fall into place
Pick up your entrails, the time has come
Leave the bed of nails, let it all burn
Raise hell, wipe that smile off your face
Raise hell, embrace hell
Nobody drives you down the less traveled road
♪
Me and my shadow, we know the way through
♪
Your face disgusts me, turn it away
You think you know at whom you're staring?
Raise hell, I'll scrape that smile off your face
Raise hell, the end of all days
What is this defense you're drowning in?
Give up the pretense, it's sink or swim
Raise hell, I'll scrape that smile off your face
Raise hell, the end of all days
Nobody drives you down the less traveled road
♪
Me and my shadow, we know the way through
♪
Right behind me matching every stride
Though you're made of darkness
You only appear in the light
♪
You made your bed, now lay
♪
Why die in peace while living in fear?
Didn't you know your heaven was insincere
Raise hell, unite the fire and sky
Nobody drives you down the less traveled road
♪
Me and my shadow, we know the right way to go
