  • How long must I stay
    How long must I go on
    Taking my chances on burning away
    Don't take away my daylight
    Don't take away my dream

    Why must I go
    To hell and back again
    To hell and back again
    To hell and back again
    To hell and back again

    Will I make the morning
    To see another day
    The Gods may come at midnight
    They're taking me away
    I'm waiting here on death row
    I pray for my reprieve

    Why must I go
    To hell and back again
    To hell and back again
    To hell and back again
    To hell and back again

    The chaplain and the gardener
    Have told me how to die
    I've used up all my chances
    Now's the time to cry
    For I can hear the footsteps
    The lights have just gone dim
    I'm on the final journey

    Why must I go
    To hell and back again
    To hell and back again
    To hell and back again
    To hell and back again

    Will I make the morning
    To see another day
    The Gods may come at midnight
    They're taking me away
    I'm waiting here on death row
    I pray for my reprieve
    Why must I go
    To hell and back again
    To hell and back again
    To hell and back again
    To hell and back again

    The chaplain and the gardener
    Have told me how to die
    I've used up all my chances
    Now's the time to cry
    For I can hear the footsteps
    The lights have just gone dim
    I'm on the final journey

    Why must I go
    To hell and back again
    To hell and back again
    To hell and back again
    To hell and back again Writer/s: GRAHAM OLIVER, PAUL QUINN, PETER FRANCIS GILL, PETERY ROONEY BYFORD, STEPHEN DAWSON
