King Of Hell

Come on all you crazy midnight dancers
Nothing in this world can matter now
I can sense the dance floor slowly sinking
This is Hell’s own Mardi Gras somehow
All around the rapture, all around the room
There's a face
A face of gloom
There's a face, I know it well
This is the face
Of the King of Hell

Everybody I know says they hate him
They still use his strength when they can
Fifty years ago he was created
You know the King of Hell is not a man
He’ll destroy an atoll, he’ll upturn the sea
He will trample on your trust
With acts of bastardry
There’s a face, I know it well
The mushroom shape
Of the King of Hell

Soon even the seas will start rebelling
At a cost that all of us will pay
And the tender balance will be broken
I don’t want to see that dreadful day
All around the rapture, all around the room
There’s a face
A face of gloom
There’s a face, I know it well
This is the face
Of the King of Hell
