Hell or Bust

Oh, can you hear
The sound of my trembling hands?
Oh, can you see
The tears of a dying man?
Daddy sits and Mama cries
Sister, she won't eat
The children are unaware
They're out playing in the streets
A burning bird across the sky
A statue made of rust
A banner flown read "down to hell or bust"
Down to hell or bust

Jesus, can you hear
The prayers of your dying lambs?
Jesus, should we fear
The arrows from a distant land?
And an evil eye is always turned
When we turn the other cheek
And we give up our inheritance
And the blessings of the meek
The circle, it comes back around
The guest becomes the host
Ash to bone and flesh again to ghost
Flesh again to ghost

Anywhere other than the other side
Oh, you know we were born to ride
Two by two and side by side
Anywhere other than the other side

Children, can you see
That it's all right before your eyes?
Children, can you hear
Your heart break beneath their lies?
And all the wishes ever
Are at the bottom of the well
And the padres are left to pray
For the sinners stuck in hell
One day we'll all break free
This prison made of bone
Rise above their hallowed halls of stone
Their hallowed halls of stone

Anywhere other than the other side
Oh, you know we were born to ride
Two by two and side by side
Anywhere other than the other side
Anywhere other than the other side
Oh, you know we were born to ride
Two by two and side by side
Anywhere other than the other side
Anywhere other than the other side
Anywhere other than the other side
