音乐咖啡厅:Sheppard - Halfway To Hell

Down in the depths of the deepest,
darkest well.
All of the wicked suffer where we fell.
You know we loved you
before you cast your spell.
But it's a long way back
when you're halfway¹ to hell.
All that is left here
is the darkness of the night.
Where do you run to
when you're banished² from the light?
We can fall without a fight
we can try to make it right.
But the rugged³ road to glory
is hardly in out sight.
It's a long way back,
it's a long way back,
it's a long way back
when you're halfway to hell.
All the people in between
are closer than they seem.
All the people in between
are closer than they seem.
All the people in between
ahh...
Well we all craved⁴ the power,
and now we're eating dirt.
When it comes to evil money's such a flirt⁵.
We're all living in the ground,
without a clue we're falling down.
And it's harder to breathe when
there's Earth in your mouth.
It's a long way back,
it's a long way back,
it's a long way back
when you're halfway to hell
All the people in between
are closer than they seem
All the people in between
are closer than they seem
All the people in between
ahh...
Sinking deeper into war,
singing "freedom" as we fall.
Time to make a call,
we're on our knees.
Once the truth is bent⁶,
we'll start our decent.
An inch a time for every lie.
Before we know it we can barely see
All the people in between
are closer than they seem.
All the people in between
are closer than they seem
All the people in between
ahh...
