17927

Lyrics

CHORUS:
one seven nine two seven
shouldn't good towns go to heaven?
shouldn't good towns full of honest men be spared?
we know nobody lives forever
and we serve you at your pleasure
but the mines keep burning hotter 
lord we trust you
lord we're scared

VERSE 1:
elijah was pulled up to heaven
in a chariot of flame
we're getting pulled down into hell
the hottest town in pennsylvan-ia

CHORUS

VERSE 2:
nebuchadnezzar's fiery furnace
stoked to seven times its heat
couldn't harm those you protected
looks like we might have it beat

CHORUS

you tore down the walls of heathen jericho
you laid waste to prideful nineveh, we know
why you leveled sodom and gomorrah, too
but lord almighty what'd we ever do to you?

CHORUS
