I dreamed last night I went to Hell
And there, well so you see
A shadow came and touched my hand
And sent a chill through me
Oh no, said I, how can it be
That this would be my fate
I've heard it said that Heaven can
But, know that Hell can't wait
Of ignorance and poverty
I've watched the world drink deep
Safe at home all in our beds
No guilt disturbed our sleep
And now, find I, how can it be
The answers come too late
I've heard it said that Heaven can
But, know that Hell can't wait
These earthly things which we surround
Ourselves with night and day
They can not bring a moment back
Or keep the hounds at bay
Oh no, say you, how can it be
That this would be our fate
I've heard it said that Heaven can
But, know that Hell can't wait
