[Verse 1]
There is road to perdition
And it's paved with souls
Marked with age-old traditions
And lined with ancient scrolls

[Verse 2]
You know the quest for redemption
Is an uphill climb
It's a bone of contention
Take one step at a time

[Pre-Chorus]
Just a spark in the night
A star in the distance
Between what's black and what white
Throughout all existence (Oh, yeah!)

[Chorus]
It's a long road to Heaven
From the Southside of Hell
It's a long road to Heaven
Just trying to break that spell

[Verse 3]
Come on, all you people
Now's the time to fly
On your wings as the eagles
Right through the needle's eye
[Pre-Chorus]
Just a spark in the night
A star in the distance
It's a search for the light
Throughout all existence

[Chorus]
It's a long road to Heaven
From the Southside of Hell
It's a long road to Heaven
Got to break that spell

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
It's a long road to Heaven
From the Southside of Hell
It's a long road to Heaven
Just trying to break that spell
It's a long road to Heaven
From the Southside of Hell
A long road to Heaven
Just trying to break that spell
