Hell or High Water Lyrics

There's no escape, heaven can wait
There's no escape and time is running out
Heaven can wait, come hell or high water

Dragged into a world with voices unheard and silent screams
Forced into this hell where evil compels and shatters your dreams
Trapped in this underworld, confused on how this came to be
The path you walked has lead you on a trail of misery
Unsure of your fate, uncertainty waits your struggle within

No end and no beginnings
Is this the afterlife?

There's no escape and time is running out
Heaven can wait come hell or high water
There's no escape and time is running out
Heaven can wait come hell or high water

(Hell or high water)

Time's testing your faith just left there to waste
All hope disappears so summon the strength
Now nothing is left, death is hunting the weak
Now break these chains with broken bones, become the enemy
The ends in sight now you're the hunter show no empathy
Unsure of you fate, uncertainty waits your struggle within

No end and no beginnings
Is this the afterlife?

There's no escape and time is running out
Heaven can wait come hell or high water
There's no escape and time is running out
Heaven can wait come hell or high water

I can't let you
I won't let you
Go!

No end and no beginnings
Is this the afterlife?

There's no escape and time is running out
Heaven can wait come hell or high water
There's no escape and time is running out
Heaven can wait come hell or high water
