Highwaymen, The - Death And Hell Lyrics
She stepped down from her carriage,
At Ten Vermillon Street.
I took off my roustabout,
And slung it at her feet.
We went into her parlor,
But said, "I'll go no further,
With a fantasy-makin' man."
I said, "I'd walk on the Ponchatrain,
For what you have today."
Just a drink from your deep well,
And I'll be on my way.
She laughed and heaven filled the room.
Said, "This I give to you,
This body's wisdom is the flesh,
"Death and hell are never full.
And neither are the eyes of men.
Cats can fly from nine stories high.
And pigs can see the wind."
She let me make my pallet,
In the moonlight on the floor.
Just outside of paradise,
But right in hell's back door.
The image of her nibbled,
At the eye of my soul.
My dreams were a hurricane,
And quite out of control.
Then her voice came through the storm,
It's more than flesh I deal.
And you will have to pay,
For any wisdom that you steal
I woke to tinted windows,
In lavender and red.
The first station of the cross,
Is just above my head.
I awoke to gargoyles,
And a hard bench for my bed
Jesus Christ and Pontias Pilate,
Were just above my head.
Death and hell are never full.
And neither are the eyes of men.
Cats can fly from nine stories high.
And pigs can see the wind.

Highwaymen, The Death And Hell Comments
I will shake and vibrate this entire country as I render this sentence state to state territory to territory
Every witch wizard person who has peddled poisons to my son those who are international and plotted against my so. Mental well being you will be cast into death and hell all the elites who plotted and their masters they will remain in death and hell from this point on every body will take notice their punishment will be a public spectacle
Everyone in NYS will be the first to be cast in all at once even In Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 in ten minutes every single one of them will be instantly cast to death and hell
I will open up the gates of death and hell within the entire United States of America this gate will go one way only in, the only way is to be fully rid of your anti God anti christ your plotting ways those who have attacked my son my family myself spiritually those who plotted against our lives sold us out plot violence against our freedoms will be literally cast into hell today
Death and hell are never full.
And neither are the eyes of men.
Cats can fly from nine stories high.
And pigs can see the wind :)
