LYRICS:

Intro:
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear the evil, every plateau and depth
Ash rains down but the ground stays wet
Flames rise high though the sun has set


Chorus:
Like a bat outta hell
I'll be alone when the evenings gone
Oh, when the burnings done
I'll be alone, alone on my own
Like a bat outta hell
I'll be alone when the evenings gone
But when night ignites and molten light's
Blazing bright, can't you tell?
Like a heathen heaved from Heaven
I'm still fallin into Hell


Verse 4:
Greed is the bleak motif, of thieves and fiends, obese elites who each compete
To heave heaps of steel with no relief, no reprieve, only grief, fatigue guaranteed
No release, sleep or peace, bequeathed and beat, but buried deep beneath sheets of sleet
They grit their teeth and crease their cheeks, their speech is weak from obscene beliefs
They squeeze their feet and beat their knees, but seized between greased machines
Streams of steam they breathe and wheeze, wheeled steeds stampede and exceed with speed
They plead and scream, screech and bleed, deceive or cheat, but can't proceed, retreat or flee
We'd leave indeed, but can't be freed or reach the peak, so concede defeat in ceaseless heat


Verse 5:
Wrath is that wretched path which hath trapped the mad and damned with tattered flags
Who attack, lash, clash and crash, smash, slash, hack or whack, gnash, thrash, gash and bash
With battered bats and jagged staffs, shattered pacts get ransacked, with rancid rats and
Rabid bats, their backs are cracked, snapped in half, scalps are scalped and collapse in scraps
Scratch their calves but hands are stabbed, no chance to ask, no laughs or gasps
No breath to catch, they stand aghast, their masks intact but detached and snatched
Grappled fast, staggered grasp, dragged off track, manic aftermath, magic blast
Blackened craft, drenched in ash from splattered splash, brackish baths, no raft to pass


Verse 6:
Heresy is endless heat of blasphemy and agony, a masterpiece of casualties
Catastrophes and tragedies, no strategies or amnesty, no way to see I had to flee
Clenched concrete, cemented sleep, entrenched deceit, I'm stretched too deep
Effigies and cemeteries, dead belief, depths unseen, memories, in jeopardy
Left to bleed, not meant to be, wrecked rapidly but dared to speak, wept wearily
And carelessly, for insanity or calamity, swear to me this challenged creed, bent the knee
Condemned decree, while vermin preach their sermons plea, clever speech but spread disease
Leprosy for centuries, crept beneath in secrecy, barely a peep, no respite, or rest for me


Chorus:
Like a bat outta hell
I'll be alone when the evenings gone
Oh, when the burnings done
I'll be alone, alone on my own
Like a bat outta hell
I'll be alone when the evenings gone
But when night ignites and molten light's
Blazing bright, can't you tell?
Like a heathen heaved from Heaven
I'm still fallin into Hell
