Songfacts®:

  • "No More Hell To Pay" is the title track of Stryper's ninth studio album, which was a play-off their best-selling To Hell with the Devil set. Frontman Michael Sweet explained to Metal Exiles: "We wanted to kind of come back to our strongest album and make an album that would rival that and even hopefully surpass it. So that's what we thought when we were making the album. Same thing with the artwork and the title, No More Hell To Pay."
  • Sweet explained the song and album title's meaning to Metal Exiles: "What it means is: If you put your faith in God, there is no more hell to pay, because he paid the price," he said. "If we call on him, and believe that he can help us through and get us through anything here on Earth, our own hell here on Earth, there is no more hell to pay. If we believe in Him that He died on the cross, as the Bible says, for our sins and that any man that believes in Him shall live eternally and have eternal life, and won't face hell, the hell that the Bible speaks of, there's no more hell to pay. So it's a real simple statement, but a real powerful statement as well."
