I'm a rolling thunder, fire and rain
I'm coming on like a hurricane
My lightning's flashing across the sky
You're only young, but you're gonna die
I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives
Nobody's putting up a fight
I've got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell
I'm gonna get ya, said I'll get ya
Hell's bells
Yeah, hell's bells
You got me ringing hell's bells
My temperature's high
Hell's bells
I'll give you black sensations up and down your spine
If you're into evil, you're a friend of mine
See the white light flashing as I split the night
'Cause if good's on the left then I'm sticking to the right
I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives
Nobody's puttin' up a fight
I got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell
I'm gonna get ya, said I'll get ya
Hell's bells
Oh, hell's bells
You got me ringing hell's bells
My temperature's high
Hell's bells
Yeah, I'll get you
Hell's bells, Satan's coming to you
Hell's bells, he's ringing them now
Those hell's bells, the temperature's high
Hell's bells, across the sky
Hell's bells, they're taking you down
Hell's bells, they're dragging you down
Hell's bells, gonna split the night
Hell's bells, there's no way to fight, yeah
Hell's bells
About This Song
"Hells Bells" is a menacing hard rock anthem that presents the narrator as a supernatural force of destruction, using apocalyptic imagery and religious symbolism to create an atmosphere of impending doom. The lyrics paint the protagonist as an unstoppable agent of darkness, employing metaphors of natural disasters and demonic imagery to convey themes of power, inevitability, and mortality. Musically, the song features AC/DC's signature heavy guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and Brian Johnson's distinctive raspy vocals, all building from the iconic funeral bell tolling that opens the track. The song's dark themes and relentless energy made it a defining moment for the band's "Back in Black" album, establishing it as one of heavy metal's most recognizable and influential tracks. Its combination of religious imagery with hard rock rebellion captured the genre's rebellious spirit while showcasing AC/DC's ability to create both musical power and theatrical drama.
