[sound of creaky door opening]   [laughter]   Oh!   Hello!      Have^ you ever thought^ as the hearse goes by   That^ you may be the next to die?   They wrap you in a big white sheet   And then they burry you eight feet deep*   And then   Your casket^ begins to leak!   Ah ha!*      The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out   The worms play pinochle on your snout   Your liver^ turns a slimy green   And pus runs out like big whipped^ cream   Your eyeballs, they turn to cherry red*   And that's what you look^ like^ when you are dead      Storm the gates of heaven   Hold your head up high   Storm the gates of heaven   Look God right in the eye   Storm the gates of heaven   If anyone could do it, I could!   Storm the gates of heaven   And ask God "Who's gonna pay for the blood?"   Who's gonna pay for the blood?      Trials and tribulations   Oppressed and made ashamed   Life for land, death for kingdom   You've just changed your name   False prophets in their armour   Destruction at their feet   Onward Christian soldiers,   Marching to the beat   Marching to the beat   Beat      Storm the gates of heaven   The church of Man is lost   Storm the gates of heaven   Gonna take it to the Boss   Storm the gates of heaven   Twisted 'round and 'round and 'round   Storm the gates of heaven,   Children of the Lamb   Children of the Lamb      Traveling tabernacles   Armed with spears and guns   Power of persuasion   Run, you heathen ,run   Bound in false conversion   Mourning night and day   Carcass of the jackel   On your knees and pray   On your knees and pray      Storm the gates of heaven   Knocking at your door   Storm the gates of heaven   The truth and nothing more   Storm the gates of heaven   How my heart has cried   Storm the gates of heaven   And I'll meet you in the sweet by and by   In the sweet by and by      I was there at the Inquisition   I was there at the witchcraft trials   I was there when they murdered Montezuma   And they destroyed the Aztec empire   Using God's name to murder   and to steal other people's land   Using His name to persecute   And take away the freedom of Man   And take away the freedom of Man      Storm the gates of heaven   Raise your heads up high   Storm the gates of heaven   Look God right in the eye   If anyone could do it, I could, you could!   We could storm the gates of heaven   and ask God, "Who's gonna pay for the blood?"   Who's gonna pay for the blood?   Who's gonna pay for the blood?
