DON'T LET HELL FOLLOW YOU

For twenty years he had to pay

For his juvenile mistakes

At thirty five he said goodbye

As they opened up the gates

He swore he'd leave all hell behind

The minute he walked through

But once safe on the other side

He did not know what to do

Ooh Ooh Ooh

(whisper) Don't let Hell follow you...

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Hell wants to follow, begs to fight

Tries to drag you back inside

Don't let the flames engulf you

Do not yield

Let honesty and honor be your shield

Stand a noble man, your wall the truth

Don't let Hell follow you

~~*~~

For twenty years he's held a job

Respected by the men

At fifty five, head held high

They count him as a friend

He swore he'd leave all hell behind

And that's just what he did

Has a life, that truly shines

A loving wife and kids

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

Doesn't hide the past , the bridges burned

Shares the struggles, all he's learned

Every soul that's worthy, has come through

And he'll tell you the truth

He's living proof

Bury the fool...

Don't let Hell follow you

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Hell wants to follow, begs to fight

Tries to drag you back inside

Don't let the flames engulf you

Do not yield

Let honesty and honor be your shield

Stand a noble man, your wall the truth

Don't let Hell follow you

~~*~~

Ooh Ooh Ooh

(whisper) Don't let Hell follow you...

~~~*~~~
