Hells' gates on fire

The tough gets moving on

Morning noon or night 
                  G 
The fighters take chances 
             D

There's no way the fire advances

We need more angels

No matter how hard we try 
                    Am 
We can't match her speed

Ashes falling down on us

Baptize this land

God we need your attention
