"Lake of Fire" by Nirvana is song that uses a metaphor to explain where bad people go when they die. The metaphor "Lake of Fire" is describing hell and when your bad in life thats where you end up. The song is explaing that you should be good in life to end up in "heaven where the angels fly." But, when your bad, you end up in a "lake of fire and fry."

Where do bad folks go when they die
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
Go to a lake of fire and fry
Don't see them again 'till the Fourth of July

I knew a lady who came from Duluth
Bitten by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave just a little too soon
flew and lay howling on the yellow moon

Where do bad folks go when they die
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
Go to a lake of fire and fry
Don't see them again 'till the Fourth of July

People cry and people moan
Look for a dry place to call their home
Try to find some place to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils try to make 'em their own

Where do bad folks go when they die
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
Go to a lake of fire and fry
Don't see them again 'till the Fourth of July
