The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
All your sins are forgiven
In the name of Jesus in heaven... Ahhh
There you stood with your soul in your hand
Thinking... that God would understand
Satan take him to where you dwell
Satan take him to burn in hell
Always were a believer
You never thought of God as the Deceiver... Ahhh
There you stood with your soul in your hand
Thinking... that God would understand
Satan take him to where you dwell
Satan take him to burn in hell
Burn In Hell... Drown in my wishing well
Burn In Hell... Drown in my wishing well
Where is your Jesus now, Jesus in Heaven
Where is your saviour of all - He's executing your soul
Burn In Hell... Drown in my wishing well
Jesus and Satan hand in hand
Leading you down the stairway to the damned
No more pearly gates for you
Eternal flames, wondering who is who... Ahhh
Burn In Hell... Drown in my wishing well
Burn In Hell... Drown in my wishing well
Where is your Jesus now, Jesus in Heaven
Where is your saviour of all - He's executing your soul
Burn In Hell... Burn In Hell
In the name of Jesus in heaven... Ahhh
There you stood with your soul in your hand
Thinking... that God would understand
Satan take him to where you dwell
Satan take him to burn in hell
Always were a believer
You never thought of God as the Deceiver... Ahhh
There you stood with your soul in your hand
Thinking... that God would understand
Satan take him to where you dwell
Satan take him to burn in hell
Burn In Hell... Drown in my wishing well
Burn In Hell... Drown in my wishing well
Where is your Jesus now, Jesus in Heaven
Where is your saviour of all - He's executing your soul
Burn In Hell... Drown in my wishing well
Jesus and Satan hand in hand
Leading you down the stairway to the damned
No more pearly gates for you
Eternal flames, wondering who is who... Ahhh
Burn In Hell... Drown in my wishing well
Burn In Hell... Drown in my wishing well
Where is your Jesus now, Jesus in Heaven
Where is your saviour of all - He's executing your soul
Burn In Hell... Burn In Hell
