Ferocious Dog - Hell Hounds lyrics

There's not a man can help me They only make it worse Tried and tried for years on end to try to break this curse This curse was cast upon me by a madman's dying breath Feel his hands around my throat as he drags me to my d**h And the devil sends the hell hounds for me boys The devil sends the hell hounds for me Hell hounds come a calling They're howling at my door I wish they'd come and claim me I can't take this any more Tonight I lay with a buxom who*e In a brothel drenched in beer Only the dead will understand or really know my fear They chase me through the dark streets They're screaming out my name The more I try to run away The more it seems in vane They chase me to the dark wood Down by the riverside And I wish they'd come and claim me Cos forever I can't hide And the devil sends the hell hounds for me boys The devil sends the hell hounds for me The hell hounds come a calling When I'm lying in my bed I try to cover up my ears but the howling's in my head The devil's in the corner He's laughing in my face As they drag me screaming through the night To my final resting place They smash my head wide open They rape and torture me They put a rope around my neck And hang me from a tree They flog me with the nine tails They hang me out to dry So the crows can feed upon my bones To make sure that I die And the devil sends the hell hounds for me boys The devil sends the hell hounds for me They come to take me down Take me down Take me down Well they come to take me down Take me down Take me down. Down
