So you think you've got what it takes? You've made up your mind? You're ready to raise up the stakes And leave all behind? I've been to hell and returned I can show you the way
Give you a map that has cost men their lives What do you say?
But there's only so much I can teach you Before your time runs out So if you are ever to get there You know what you need to know
Now go! Pay the ferryman an extra penny You've get to make haste There's no time to lose
Acid splashing, darkness crashing in on you Enter the gates of hell To dice with the devil for fortune and fame Master the lord of hell
I see the fear in your eyes But don't be afraid I don't think you do realise What's coming your way
A man who has nothing to lose will Still have all to gain Now, there's nothing left but to wish you Godspeed on your way
Acid splashing, darkness crashing in on you Enter the gates of hell To dice with the devil for fortune and fame Master the lord of hell
It's a gambit, I'll have to admit Are you willing to pay the price? You should be aware, at the sight of those gates The blood of most men turns to ice
Just go! Pay the ferryman an extra penny You've get to make haste There's no time to lose
Add splashing, darkness crashing in on you Enter the gates of hell To dice with the devil for fortune and fame Master the lord of hell
It's a gambit, I'll have to admit Are you willing to pay the price? The table is set, the bets have been placed It's time to roll the dice
