I'm told there truly is a place
A paradise for everyone
An Eden where we can enjoy
Peace and love
Eternal sun
I'm told there is a Pearly Gate
Which only opens from within
A passage into golden light
No bell or knocker
To beckon in
I'm told there's knowledge of a book
One that holds a special key
A tome of deeds on everyone
Who walked this way
Most perfectly
I'm told that He who stands between
Evil and what's right
Knows who'll see the peace of day
Or taste
Everlasting night
I'm told my name may grace a page
If I've lived my life with worth
Just can't perceive not getting in
I've lived
My hell on earth
