Come on down to the other side
Come with us through the gates of hell
Where we'll drag you from where you are 
To where you belong

Come on down to the other side
Come with us through the gates of hell
Where we'll drag you from where you are 
To where you belong

There's nothing to fear
Your saviors are here
The ship is coming down
The ship is coming down
The ship is coming down
Coming down
Coming down

You, you look so precious
A diamond in the rough
And though you tried to escape
I'll be holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on

But I can't sleep until this is done
They're in my head
They're in my soul

Come on down to the other side
Come with us through the gates of hell
Where we'll drag you from where you are to where you belong

Come on down to the other side
Come with us through the gates of hell
Where we'll drag you from where you are to where you belong

We are in your spirit
We're everywhere you turn
From the cover to the cover
The cover to the cover
To your lover
To your brother
To your mother
To the others

You, You look so precious
But now you've gone away
And I am falling apart
Under the waves
The waves
The waves
The waves

But I can't sleep until this is done
They're in my head
They're in my soul

Through the gates of hell
We know you

The ship is coming down
The ship is coming down
The ship is coming down
The ship is coming down
Coming down
Coming down
Coming down
Coming down
Coming down
Coming down
Coming down
Coming 

Down to the other side
Come with us through the gates of hell
Where we'll drag you from where you are to where you belong

Come on down to the other side
Come with us through the gates of hell
Where we'll drag you from where you are to where you belong
