Welcome to the Pit lyrics
by Bruce Dickinson
[Verse 1]
You come on down to the pit
Come on down to where the vipers spit
I've been waiting for you down here
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cover your eyes with the velvet hands of darkness
Cover your eyes with the velvet hands of darkness
[Chorus]
I don't even know your name, you won't even see my face
But you choose to play my games, welcome to the hard place
[Verse 2]
I'll bring you back from the brink
Are you surprised in every way that you like it?
Are you surprised that you want it?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cover your lips with the wicked tongue of silence
Cover your lips with the wicked tongue of silence
[Chorus]
I don't even know your name, you won't even see my face
But you choose to play my games, welcome to the hard place
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Back to back, you ride the snake
You feel it strike, you feel it bite ya...
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Cover your eyes with the velvet hands of darkness
Cover your eyes with the wicked tongue of silence
[Chorus]
I don't even know your name, you won't even see my face
But you choose to play my games, welcome to the hard place
[Chorus/Outro]
I don't even know your name, you won't even see my face
But you choose to play my games
Now can you feel the hard, the hard... place...
