Lyrics

Cold Day in Hell (Natalie Agostinho)

He's the quiet bookkeeper
Who is often prone to stare
Into space and keeps a small box
Under his old wooden chair
They don't know he has a secret
That he's never going to share
And the burden that he carries
Is despair
And he's never letting go
'Cause he promised it'd be so
And he's hoping that he still could save her soul

CHORUS:
But it's got to be a cold day in hell
Where the ice plains have burned up the fields
And everything between
The devil wants his payment
For the mess he made
And if it's not what you want
You should have paid
But the ice won't melt with the truth to tell
So it's got to be a cold day in hell

He's just waiting for his moment
He's got a lot of things to plan
He knows the day is coming soon now
When the devil comes to town
She is tied up in the chamber
Hot, dark flames burning her chest
And the only way to save her
Is for him to spend the rest
Of his life in boundless grief
And pain in perpetuity
While the devil laughs
There's no way to be free

Unless there is a cold day in hell
Where the ice plains have burned up the fields
And everything between
The devil wants his payment
For the mess he made
And if it's not what you want
You should have paid
But the ice won't melt with the truth to tell
So it's got to be a cold day in hell

There's no one left to tell
We're riding back to hell
She saved me once before
But I won't let her be alone
I've been held back by the flames
But when you cross this earthly plane
I'm going to see my love again

Because it's going to be a cold day in hell
Where the ice plains have burned up the fields
And everything between
The devil wants his payment
For the mess he made
And if it's not what you want
You should have paid
But the ice won't melt with the truth to tell
So it's got to be a cold day in hell

It's got to be a cold day in hell
It's got to be a cold day in hell
