Hell, Fire and Damnation Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Child of Satan or lamb of God, the choice is yours to make
Rule the heavens high or reign in Hell
Satanic rites and holy prayers bring supremacy
Fighting for our souls until the end
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The battle rages on through eternity
In the fight for good and evil
Which one will succeed?
[Chorus]
Hell, fire and damnation
Written in the prophecy
Holy fire and salvation
Will our souls ever be free?
Ever be free
[Verse 2]
The Antichrist and Nazarene fight the endless war
Angels, demons raging back and forth
Demonic verses, holy script, the never-ending fight
Will the darkness conquer 'gainst the light?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Armies of the evil
Warriors of the good
Battle on forever
To find the chosen one
[Chorus]
Hell, fire and damnation
Written in the prophecy
Holy fire and salvation
Will our souls ever be free?
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Satan's fire, Heaven's light, the conflict never ends
Back and forth they battle for our souls
The prophecy written out there for all to read
Some believe but others cannot see
[Pre-Chorus 3]
The battle rages on into eternity
The fight for good and evil
Which one will it be?
[Chorus]
Hell, fire and damnation
Written in the prophecy
Holy fire and salvation
Will our souls ever be free?
Ever be free
Ever be free
Child of Satan or lamb of God, the choice is yours to make
Rule the heavens high or reign in Hell
Satanic rites and holy prayers bring supremacy
Fighting for our souls until the end
The battle rages on through eternity
In the fight for good and evil
Which one will succeed?
Hell, fire and damnation
Written in the prophecy
Holy fire and salvation
Will our souls ever be free?
Ever be free
The Antichrist and Nazarene fight the endless war
Angels, demons raging back and forth
Demonic verses, holy script, the never-ending fight
Will the darkness conquer 'gainst the light?
Armies of the evil
Warriors of the good
Battle on forever
To find the chosen one
Hell, fire and damnation
Written in the prophecy
Holy fire and salvation
Will our souls ever be free?
Satan's fire, Heaven's light, the conflict never ends
Back and forth they battle for our souls
The prophecy written out there for all to read
Some believe but others cannot see
The battle rages on into eternity
The fight for good and evil
Which one will it be?
Hell, fire and damnation
Written in the prophecy
Holy fire and salvation
Will our souls ever be free?
Ever be free
Ever be free

The title track explores the juxtaposition between good and evil. "There's so much music out there about hell and the devil and the occult that I just thought it's about time somebody wrote one about the battle just between good and evil!" Biff Byford explained. "You can't sing about the devil without singing about the good guy either, and the song basically says 'make your choice'. We all have to make the choice, are we evil or are we good? The song's about that fight." "Hell, Fire And Damnation" investigates and explores different areas of history and mystery. The title itself comes from something Byford's father used to exclaim when he was upset. "He used to say, 'Hell, fire, and damnation, what's tha' been doing now?!' when I was 'messing up his cabbage patch' or carving things into the kitchen table," he reminisced. "It was a very 'Yorkshire' saying back in the day."
