(Verse 1)
I'm a guilty man
That's what I said
Cold hard truth is
I shot him dead
His body cold
His blood ran red
I'm a guilty man
That's what I said
I'm a guilty man
That's what I said

(Chorus)
I built my house
At the gates of Hell
And I can hear
The devil ring his bell
And all the angels
Sing farewell
'Cause I built my house
At the gates of Hell
Yeah, I built my house
At the gates of Hell

(Verse 2)
This secret sin
Is killin' me
If you only knew
My shame you'd see
Yeah, I can run
But I won't be free
This secret sin
Is killin' me
This secret sin
Is killin' me
(Chorus)
I built my house
At thе gates of Hell
And I can hear
Thе devil ring his bell
And all the angels
Sing farewell
'Cause I built my house
At the gates of Hell
Yeah, I built my house
At the gates of Hell

(Whistling break)

(Verse 3)
I'm a guilty man
That's what I said
And a guilty man's
As good as dead

(Chorus)
I built my house
At the gates of Hell
And I can hear
The devil ring his bell
And all the angels
Sing farewell
'Cause I built my house
At the gates of Hell
Yeah, I built my house
At the gates of Hell
The gates of Hell
The gates of Hell
The gates of Hell
