Back From The Dead Lyrics
I’m back from the dead!
Out of the black
Breaking free of the wasteland
Out of the mud
Crawling up through the quicksand
Leaving the dark, coming into the light
Don’t lay me down, save your last rites
‘Cause I’m still standing above ground
Back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn’t hold me
Back from the other side!
Up from the dirt I rise
Save your prayers, don’t bless my bones
Erase my name from my headstone
Back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn’t hold me down!
On the edge of the world getting lost in oblivion
To the devils who tried to keep me living like a prisoner
Couldn’t chain me down, couldn’t cage me in
So keep your savior, give me back my sins
‘Cause I’m still standing on the ground
Back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn’t hold me
Back from the other side!
Up from the dirt I rise
Save your prayers, don’t bless my bones
Erase my name from my headstone
Back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn’t hold me down!
Down!
Back from the dead alive
Back from the other side
I’m back!!!!
I’m back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn’t hold me
Back from the other side!
Up from the dirt I rise
Save your prayers, don’t bless my bones
Erase my name from my headstone
Back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn’t hold me down!
Hell couldn’t hold me down!
Hell couldn’t hold me down
Breaking free of the wasteland
Out of the mud
Crawling up through the quicksand
Don’t lay me down, save your last rites
‘Cause I’m still standing above ground
Hell couldn’t hold me
Back from the other side!
Up from the dirt I rise
Save your prayers, don’t bless my bones
Erase my name from my headstone
Back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn’t hold me down!
To the devils who tried to keep me living like a prisoner
Couldn’t chain me down, couldn’t cage me in
So keep your savior, give me back my sins
‘Cause I’m still standing on the ground
Hell couldn’t hold me
Back from the other side!
Up from the dirt I rise
Save your prayers, don’t bless my bones
Erase my name from my headstone
Back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn’t hold me down!
Down!
Back from the other side
I’m back!!!!
Hell couldn’t hold me
Back from the other side!
Up from the dirt I rise
Save your prayers, don’t bless my bones
Erase my name from my headstone
Back from the dead alive!
Hell couldn’t hold me down!
Hell couldn’t hold me down!
Hell couldn’t hold me down

This to me is essentially about coming out on top when everyone in your life has counted you out.
It's about the legend of Jack of Jack o lantern fame, and how he was doomed to walk the earth for tricking the devil too many times. He probably said what Lzzy said when Satan sent him back to Earth because he was too bad for heaven and too good for Hell.
