Repeat figure 1. with 
It is not the soul I sell, it's not the pain from hell
It is not the fear of dying, of that I was never afraid
I will see you all in hell, isn't that where we all must go?
Gazing at the iron door, while time is slipping away
What's really driving me insane
Is what to do with my final hour
