paroles de chanson Hellbound - Hans Theessink

Had my mind all worried - when I tried to sleep last night
When a hand upon my shoulder - gave me a little fright

A stranger by my bedside said - I like your company
I found what I've been looking for - you gonna ride with me

Better get yourself ready son - 'cause I've made up my mind
To ride that long black train - till the end of the line

As we stepped on board I knew - trouble's waiting round the bend
The devil deals in dying - he deals bloody hand

Your whole life's saving is at stake - win or loose, no one can tell
You better know your cards son - and you better play them well

You can start the game my friend - soon's the dealing's done
All you got is your backbone - and your luck to lean on

I pulled out diamond seven - next up was diamond nine
They're my lucky numbers - I guess I'm doing fine

Seven wonders in the world - seven days in the week
Seven ships with snowwhite sails - sail the seven seas

You've made your point, the stranger said - but one thing I must tell
There's nine coaches on this train - destination hell

Hellbound - hellbound - this train is on a
Oneway track - can't no one turn her 'round

Nine dragons guard nine fiery gates - they let you through the door
When you've run out of aces - and you can't bluff no more

He grins, lays down the ace of spades - and a jolly joker too
Better find a helping hand son - before this game is through

I sense my time is running out - just one more card to go
I know I have to push my luck - play the best card that I know

I put down the queen of hearts - she's been my friend from old
She used to bring me loving - bring me diamonds, bring me gold

My companion's face turns hard as stone - lays down the king of spades
He's the prince of darkness - carries an ice-cold blade

Your race is run, your time is up - winner takes it all my friend
Your queen of hearts can't help you none - my king rules in this land

Hellbound - hellbound - this train is on a
Oneway track - can't no one turn her 'round

I'm in despair, my odds are down - when the queen looks up and smiles
A heart is stronger than a blade - love will survive

He's bluffing you, you better jump - you must step down in time
Before the final station - the last stop on the line

He curses as she pulls the break - the wheels start slowing down
I jump and start a-running - soon's my feet touch solid ground

His curse still ringing in my ear - I'm heading for the light
When I hear a whistle blowing - and the train pulls out of sight

Hellbound - hellbound - this train is on a
Oneway track - can't no one turn her 'round 2X
