This is the first tale of death in the world   When Cain struck down Abel a family broken   Since then mankind's dominated his own kind   To insult and injured there's no such thing as peace   Till death do us part      Till the last   (Truth be told)   Sin lies at the doorway   (Truth be told)   Hell's open for business now   (Truth be told)   The soil cries out for revenge   (Truth be told)   And death is upon the ground, all around      The battle ain't over without spoils of war   Just 'cause it is written does not make it so   When you dance with the Devil wait till the song's over   I ask myself how bad do I want you to live   My anger is near      Till the last   (Truth be told)   Sin lies at the doorway   (Truth be told)   Hell's open for business now   (Truth be told)   The soil cries out for revenge   (Truth be told)   And death is upon the ground   (Truth be told)      Sin lies at the doorway   (Truth be told)   Hell's open for business now   (Truth be told)   The soil cries out for revenge   (Truth be told)   And death is upon the ground, all around      Tribulation strikes and we're hit hard   Still you just go on your way   Head in the sand, ignoring the rain   Just like the flood in Noah's day   (In his day)      Can't punish those for ruining the earth   It's suicide so don't worry   Because we are all guilty, guilty as sin   There'll be no peace, never for you and me      Before Al Qaeda and Bin Laden   Long before Hitler and Hussein   Ever since the first murder was committed   The verdict's always been the same   (Been the same, wrong)      Because the future just repeats the past   There's hell to pay, the stone's been cast   So there'll be no peace   (Never be peace)   Till the last truth be told for you and me
