“Hell for Eternity” is one of the most intense and emotionally charged tracks from W.A.S.P.’s 2002 album Dying for the World. Written by Blackie Lawless, the song delves into themes of damnation, spiritual conflict, and personal accountability, reflecting the darker and more introspective direction the band embraced during this era.

In retrospect, “Hell for Eternity” remains a standout example of W.A.S.P.’s mature songwriting — heavy, thought-provoking, and uncompromising. For fans of classic heavy metal with philosophical and spiritual depth, the track continues to resonate as a powerful statement of accountability and consequence.

W.A.S.P. Hell For Eternity

Where ya gonna run
Ya never should have come
But welcome to the ball
My hands on the trigger
My guns getting bigger
I’ll introduce you all

Won’t you say
Hello my little friend
On your knees
And pray to die
Oh, you’re gonna burn tonight

Hell – kill’em to Hell for Eternity
Oh, tonight
Hell – send’em to Hell for Eternity
Oh, it’s alright

Nothing’s gonna save ya
Oh ya better pray – to
Whatever God you want
Yeah I’m a killer
Oh I’m a thriller
I’m Godzilla with a gun

[Repeat bridge]
[Repeat chorus]

Oh don’t you cry
To your God for mercy
Oh woah you’re gonna die
Like a shot from my gun
You’re gonna burn, burn, burn
Yeah you’re gonna burn, burn

[Repeat chorus]
