Go to Hell

(Music, lyrics: Mustaine, Ellefson, Friedman, Menza)

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take

I'm not going to wake up today
They've pulled my plug the picture fades
And as my body decays
Mold begins to fill my grave
The smell of death permeates
The silk within my coffin lays

Go to hell!

As they bury me now
Six feet there my body lies
Still feel like I'm going down
I hear a distant wailing cry
God something must've gone wrong
And much too late I realize

Go to hell!

I saw my funeral that day
I know who didn't show to mourn
My judgment was life in hell
Pillars of pain and thorns
My only friend's the goat
With 666 between his horns

Go to hell!

Place all your trust here in me
Rest assured these things I know
And as Charon sails the sea
Your journey too shall end below
Ah yes, you're all sitting ducks
It's true you reap what you sow

Go to hell!

Now I lay me down to sleep
Blah, blah, blah my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
I'll go to Hell for Heaven's sake


This song was originally featured on Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey soundtrack, released in July 1991.

"We did this for Interscope and they said that the first version of the lyrics was too tame so I got very pagan for this one." (Mustaine, 2001)

"Charon, in Greek mythology, is the boatman who ferries the dead across the river Styx to Hades. Though old and gray, Charon is strong and sturdy. Dressed in a short cloak, he chooses his passengers from among the multitudes of the dead that crowd the shore. Only those properly buried in the world above are chosen, and then only if they have the fare - a silver coin placed in the mouth of the corpse before burial." (Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia)
