First Day in Hell - Arch Enemy

Torn from home, sent down death’s railroad, are we

When we wake up tomorrow

Will we still be wearing this curse?

Will we wake up tomorrow?

Which punishment is worse?

Day one: no sun

Stripped of our names

Now we are merely numbers

Permanently inked in the flames

Our kind, our existence lights the fire

Igniting hell on earth

Archangels bending crosses, hooked

Innocent men, women, children

Sentenced before conviction

With golden stars to guide them

Their gavel is the end of a gun

Day two: lived through

More culprits arrive

Every cage so crowded

How will we survive through the night?

Our kind, our existence lights the fire

Igniting hell on earth

Archangels bending crosses, hooked

First day in hell

First day in hell

See the terror in abandoned gazes

Fear-sunken eyes

Get the guards and walk a dozen paces, saturnine

First day in hell

Incarcerated without reason

Doomed by blood

Anti-venom for a poisoned nation

Our birthright

Week five: alive

Soon out of time

After all that I’ve, here, witnessed

There’s no value in life

Our kind, our existence lights the fire

Igniting hell on earth

Archangels bending crosses, hooked

First day in hell

First week in hell

See the terror in abandoned gazes

Fear-sunken eyes

Get the guards and walk a dozen paces, saturnine

First month in hell

Incarcerated without reason

Doomed by blood

Anti-venom for a poisoned nation

Our birthright

Last day in hell
