[Intro: female voice] Meh ho si, meh ho si Que moo la ha, echo side Woo co si, woo co si Que moo la ha, echo side
[Verse 1: Violent J, Shaggy 2 Dope, Jamie Madrox, Monoxide] Imagine a place that exists beyond, a place that's seldom seen (A place that's seldom seen) A place that even the wickedest souls that burned have never been (That burned have never been) There was a soul named Damien, he was nothin' Heaven would save (Nothing heaven would save) Instead he was cast to the flames of Hell to serve an eternal grave (To serve an eternal grave) Even in the afterlife, things don't always go as planned (Things don't always go as planned) As Satan's realm seeds lunacy, it's hectic and over jammed (Hectic and over jammed) Damien earned his spot in hell right until his dying day (Right until his dying day) So the wagons took his sorry soul and taunted him all the way (Taunted him all the way) They finally reached that resting place, an endless pit of fire (An endless pit of fire) But Damien had escaped through the back door of Satan's lair (Back door of Satan's lair) Out the back entrance of hell but with nowhere else to hide (But with nowhere else to hide) Because Hell is just a tomb, resting in the Echo Side
[Chorus: female voice, Jamie Madrox] Meh ho si, meh ho si Que moo la ha, echo side Woo co si, woo co si Que moo la ha, echo side Meh ho si, meh ho si (Underneath the shadows on the other side of time) Que moo la ha, echo side (If there is a hell then there must be a behind) Woo co si, woo co si (Would you take me to the ghetto land, don't bury me in black) Que moo la ha, echo side (Take me from the Echo Side and never bring me back)
[Chorus: female voice, Jamie Madrox] Meh ho si, meh ho si Que moo la ha, echo side Woo co si, woo co si Que moo la ha, echo side Meh ho si, meh ho si (Underneath the shadows on the other side of time) Que moo la ha, echo side (If there is a hell then there must be a behind) Woo co si, woo co si (Would you take me to the ghetto land, don't bury me in black) Que moo la ha, echo side (Take me from the Echo Side and never bring me back)
[Verse 3: Violent J, Shaggy 2 Dope, Jamie Madrox, Monoxide] Damien crawled for many hours, in puddles of blood he lay (In puddles of blood he lay) Tortured by everything he saw, yet wishing along the way (Yet wishing along the way) His arms decayed and fell off his body as he rolled along the floor (As he rolled along the floor) Still trying not to look back, as if something else were in store (Something else were in store) The clouds above were dark and hot yet dripping with blood rain (Yet dripping with blood rain) The ground infested with rodents, that crawled throughout his veins (Crawled throughout his veins) As Damien laid in Echo Side, Hell's screams could still be heard (Hell's screams could still be heard) The blood red sky would flicker with the torturing that occurred (With the torture that occurred) Thinking that he had escaped, every scream he heard he laughed (Every scream he heard he laughed) The headless children pointed and urinated in his path (Urinated in his path) He finally saw some fortress gates, so he quickly rolled into it (Quickly rolled into it) These red gates were the front doors of hell, he never knew it, heh heh
[Chorus: female voice, Jamie Madrox] Meh ho si, meh ho si Que moo la ha, echo side Woo co si, woo co si Que moo la ha, echo side Meh ho si, meh ho si (Underneath the shadows on the other side of time) Que moo la ha, echo side (If there is a hell then there must be a behind) Woo co si, woo co si (Would you take me to the ghetto land, don't bury me in black) Que moo la ha, echo side (Take me from the Echo Side and never bring me back)
[Outro: female voice & Violent J, Jamie Madrox] Meh ho si, meh ho si (Underneath the shadows on the other side of time) Que moo la ha, echo side (If there is a hell then there must be a behind) Woo co si, woo co si (Would you take me to the ghetto land, don't bury me in black) Que moo la ha, echo side (Take me from the Echo Side and never bring me back) Meh ho si, meh ho si (Underneath the shadows on the other side of time) Que moo la ha, echo side (If there is a hell then there must be a behind) Woo co si, woo co si (Would you take me to the ghetto land, don't bury me in black) Que moo la ha, echo side (Take me from the Echo Side and never bring me back) Meh ho si, meh ho si (Underneath the shadows on the other side of time) Que moo la ha, echo side (If there is a hell then there must be a behind) Woo co si, woo co si (Would you take me to the ghetto land, don't bury me in black) Que moo la ha, echo side (Take me from the Echo Side and never bring me back) Meh ho si, meh ho si (Underneath the shadows on the other side of time) Que moo la ha, echo side (If there is a hell then there must be a behind) Woo co si, woo co si (Would you take me to the ghetto land, don't bury me in black) Que moo la ha, echo side (Take me from the Echo Side and never bring me back) Meh ho si, meh ho si (Underneath the shadows on the other side of time) Que moo la ha, echo side (If there is a hell then there must be a behind) Woo co si, woo co si (Would you take me to the ghetto land, don't bury me in black) Que moo la ha, echo side (Take me from the Echo Side and never bring me back) Meh ho si, meh ho si (Underneath the shadows on the other side of time) Que moo la ha, echo side (If there is a hell then there must be a behind) Woo co si, woo co si (Would you take me to the ghetto land, don't bury me in black) Que moo la ha, echo side (Take me from the Echo Side and never bring me back)
