IT REALLY SNOWS IN HELL
Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)
IT REALLY SNOWS IN HELL
The cold of the storm brushed against me
Through the swirling snow I tried to see
The harder I looked, the harder it fell
They lie you know, it really snows in Hell
The gunshots rang through the storm
Meet the enemy, in death alone be warm
Fighting both nature and my fellow man
Lord, I really don't know if I can
Jonsey got hit, there in the head
Mickey lies in the snow up ahead
Don't even know how I'll ever get out alive
And Lord do I even want to survive?
Then a shot rang out, the answer never seemed so clear
Only the living have death to face and cold to fear
The cold of the storm brushed against me
Through the swirling snow I tried to see
The harder I looked, the harder it fell
They lie you know, it really snows in Hell
