Here in this place lies the key to your death Touch it, see it Here in this place is the means to your end Touch it, feel it Green hell You did your best as someone could I bet you never knew you would Did you run away from it? I bet you thought you were really good We're gonna burn in hell Green hell green hell Like every hell but kind of green Green hell green hell Try let me get back up there Green hell green hell Feel it burning in your cereal Green hell green hell Throw our fuckin' friends inside Green hell green hell Gotta fucking pay and you must stay Green hell green hell Cannot forget about the best Green hell green hell Hell is reigning in your blood Green hell green hell Gotta burn it all Green hell You did your best as someone could I bet you never knew you would And did you run away from me? I bet you think they were really good Here in this place lies the key to your death Touch it, see it Here in this place sister won't let it in Touch it, feel it Green hell You did your best as someone could I bet you'd never knew you would Did you run away from it? I bet you thought you were really good You've come to this as someone told I bet you'd never knew you would Gonna bring Green hell
