Brother James Lyrics
[Kim]
Take my hand he said to me
follow now or you'll be damned
let's go to the other side
let's go to the other side
(Henceforth ?)
(?)
Brother James you (?)
Brother James your (?)
I don't need it anymore
comin' knockin' at my door
I don't need it anymore
comin' knockin' at my door
take my hand you might as well
we're going straight to hell
i don't wanna hang around
Take my hand he said to me
follow now or you'll be damned
let's go to the other side
let's go to the other side
Brother James your (?)
comin' knockin' at my door
I don't need it anymore
comin' knockin' at my door
we're going straight to hell
i don't wanna hang around

Take my hand he said to me follow now or you'll be damned let's go to the other side let's go to the other side
Great Father, give me the keys Great Father, give me the keys
Brother James gave them to me Brother James gave them to me
I don't need 'em anymore someone knockin' at my door I don't need 'em anymore someone knockin' at my door
take my hand you might as well we're going straight to hell I don't wanna hang around watch 'em stick your head in the ground
I would say religious zealots. They say that if you don't join their church, that you are definitely going to hell.
"Watch 'em stick your head in the ground" means that they will "ground" you and brainwash you using threats of hell.
I was thinking it was about someone forcing other one to make suicide along. But your interpretation is far better.
