  • Welcome to the abandoned land
    Come on in child, take my hand
    Here there's no work or play
    Only one bill to pay
    There's just five words to say
    As you go down, down, down

    You're gonna burn in hell
    Oh, burn in hell

    You can't believe all the things
    I've done wrong in my life
    Without even trying
    I've lived on the edge of a knife

    Well, I've played with fire
    But I don't want to get myself burned
    To thine own self be true
    So I think that it's time for a turn

    Before I burn in hell
    Oh, burn in hell

    Take a good look in your heart
    Tell me what do you see?
    It's black and it's dark
    Now is that how you want it to be?

    It's up to you
    What you do will decide your own fate
    Make your choice now
    For tomorrow may be far too late

    And then you'll burn in hell
    Hear no evil, don't you
    See no evil, don't you
    (Oh, burn in hell) lay no evil down on me
    You're gonna burn in hell
    Speak no evil, don't you
    Think no evil, don't you
    (Oh, burn in hell)
    Play with evil, 'cause I'm free

    Hear no evil, don't you
    See no evil, don't you
    Lay no evil down on me
    (You're gonna burn in hell)
    Speak no evil, don't you
    Think no evil, don't you
    Play with evil, 'cause I'm free
    (You're gonna burn in hell)

    Hear no evil, don't you
    See no evil, don't you
    Lay no evil down on me
    (You're gonna burn in hell)
    Speak no evil, don't you
    Think no evil, don't you
    Play with evil, 'cause I'm free
    (You're gonna burn in hell)
    Hear no evil, don't you see no evil
    (Oh, burn in hell) don't you lay no evil down on me
    (You're gonna burn in hell)
    Speak no evil, don't you think no evil
    (Oh, burn in hell) don't you play with evil, 'cause I'm free
    (You're gonna burn in hell)
    Hear no evil, don't you see no evil
    (Oh, burn in hell) don't you lay no evil down on me Writer/s: Daniel Dee Snider

  • Dylan WilligerAtheist and proud!
  • Chad from Aple Creek, OhioI'm glad I chose the Christian path and avoided hell forever.
  • Pete from Brisbane, AuThis song, in my opinion, is one of those undiscovered album gems. It truly is heavy metal in every aspect. The re-recorded version from 2004's 'Still Hungry' album packs a much heavier, bassier punch than the original recording, and the guitar duelling is charging. Twisted Sister did not get the kudos they deserved during the 1980's, even when 'Stay Hungry' was popular. A driving, fast paced track worthy of any metal-head's ears.
