Forbidden - One Foot In Hell lyrics

Regression! Progressive downfall Grabbing what's there and still wanting it all On words they fall Obsession! Religious belief Worshipped on Sunday, forgotten all week One foot in Hell Taking the truth from "The Book" and then twisting it Feeling they're touched by the Lord Loving their neighbor, yet tasting the flavor of sin But seeing no wrong Cramming the wisdom that righteously flows in them Walking the crooked, straight line Closing of minds to these innocent crimes Now they're deaf, dumb, and blind! One foot in Hell Wretches! This pitiful man Preaching and teaching with cross in hand On words he falls Into...! His final mistake This fool was fooled, it was all give and take One foot in Hell Taking the truth from "The Book" and then twisting it Turning the pages of writing, it falls into place A puzzle of words Cramming the wisdom that righteously flows in them Attempting to fear the Commandments they hear Now they're deaf, dumb, and blind! [1st Lead: Craig] [2nd Lead: Tim] [3rd Lead: Craig] [4th Lead: Tim] "I look to the Heavens and call the Lord's name. Praying on my knees, with much faith, and little doubt I have a yearning for the answers to my calling in life Am I wasting away on spirits of myth? Am I questioning the Lord's prayer? Is this unholy temptation or, my final realization? Please, God, if you're there for me, give the wisdom for faith Help me Lord! God help me" - ! Regression! Progressive downfall Grabbing what's there and still wanting it all On words they fall Obsession! Religious belief Worshipped on Sunday, forgotten all week One foot in Hell Taking the truth from "The Book" and then twisting it Feeling they're touched by the Lord Loving their neighbor, yet tasting the flavor of sin But seeing no wrong Cramming the wisdom that righteously flows in them Walking the crooked, straight line Closing of minds to these innocent crimes Show me the way - Point to the light Is there a Heaven after I die? What is a truth - Where does it lie Give me the answer Bare my soul - Naked and cold End confusion, shed my last tear Take me Lord - Open your Gates End my deep sorrow One foot in Hell Who's answering the bell?
