hellisonYou've no-one to blame but yourself!
Ten years ago, on a cold, dark night
Someone was killed beneath the town hall light
There were few at the scene
But they all agreed
That the slayer who ran
Looked a lot like me
She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else,
Then you won't have to die."
Well, I said not a word
Though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms
Of my best friend's wife
Oh, she walks these hills in a Long Black Veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
Oh now, the scaffold was high
Eternity is near
She stood in the crowd
And shed not a tear
Oh, sometimes at night
When the cold winds blow
In a Long Black Veil
She cries over my bones
She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
(and I'm DEAD)
Good King Corpseleslass oozed out
Of his Christmas Coffin
Where the blood lay all about
With the bodies rotting
Brightly shone the moon that night
Though the frost was cruel
When a pale Death came in sight
Gath’ring helpless souls
“Hither, death and stand by me
If thou know’st it, telling
Yonder people who are they
and what’s that nasty swelling?”
“Sire, they are but simple folk
trying to have fun
but I think we’ll change all that
once my work is done
“Bring me flesh and bring me bones
Bring me bodies hither
Thou and I will see them die
and watch their eyeballs wither.”
Death and monarch forth they went
Forth they went together
Through the poor folks’ wild lament
And the bitter weather
Yonder! Look what lies ahead
with the Corpses rotting
Tis a Plague pit filled with dread
and the victims crawling
‘Now’ said Death, ‘I summon you’
‘Come before me kneeling
This night, good king, you’ll surely rue
Hear the people screaaamingggg’
‘Good king, it’s you I’ve come to kill,
Bow your head before me’
Then Death set to with a will
and methods fierce and bloody.
Hearken well now, as I sing
The moral of my story
If you call yourself a king,
Prepare for death most gorrrrrrryyyyyyyy

Just one more ;p
Date: 2005-12-20 07:43 am (UTC)O, Death
Won't you spare me over til another year
Well what is this that I can't see
With ice cold hands takin' hold of me
Well I am death, none can excel
I'll open the door to heaven or hell
Whoa, death someone would pray
Could you wait to call me another day
The children prayed, the preacher preached
Time and mercy is out of your reach
I'll fix your feet til you cant walk
I'll lock your jaw til you cant talk
I'll close your eyes so you can't see
This very air, come and go with me
I'm death I come to take the soul
Leave the body and leave it cold
To draw up the flesh off of the frame
Dirt and worm both have a claim
O, Death
O, Death
Won't you spare me over til another year
My mother came to my bed
Placed a cold towel upon my head
My head is warm my feet are cold
Death is a-movin upon my soul
Oh, death how you're treatin' me
You've close my eyes so I can't see
Well you're hurtin' my body
You make me cold
You run my life right outta my soul
Oh death please consider my age
Please don't take me at this stage
My wealth is all at your command
If you will move your icy hand
Oh the young, the rich or poor
Hunger like me you know
No wealth, no ruin, no silver no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul
O, death
O, death
Wont you spare me over til another year
Wont you spare me over til another year
Wont you spare me over til another year
