SEVENTH HELL

((( Narrator )))

She can't remember 'til she dies
Then she remembers everything
A better memory than her man
He thinks she's always in the dark
But there's a time between her Lives
She sees some things he never can

She sees the future but it's hazy
She knows she isn't happy
The past is so much clearer in her head
Her private Hell
Is cold and dark and lonely
She always stays there when she's dead

Her man feels guilty and she knows
She doesn't blame him 'cause she sees
What he goes through when she is gone
She killed herself in number Four
She understands she shares the blame
She now knows suicide is wrong

It all began because her man
Said God was bad and made Him mad
And so God took her
From her man as punishment
He killed himself and so began the Lesson
Now back and forth
Her tortured soul is sent
And now...

Her tortured soul is waiting
In Seventh Hell

Her Seventh Life was washed away
She loved her man for just a day
She went swimming after sundown
And when she swam too far she drowned

Woke up in solitude again
She never knows how long she'll spend
It all depends how soon he dies
Because they always share their Lives

She knows next time she won't remember
The Lesson God has taught her
It's not her fault her memory doesn't last
It's hard to learn a lesson from the Lesson
Without her memories of the past

The future's hazy and unhappy
She knows her Eighth Life
Will be trouble more
She hopes it's happier than Seven
And the Six that she lived short before

She lived through Seven Lives
Lost the same man seven times
It's true, he lived the same Lives too

If her Eighth Life is shared again
By the same man she knew back then
She fears she'll cry herself to death
And come back here
She hopes it's happier than Seven

Seventh Hell
Her cold dark lonely private Hell
