[Verse 1]
I'll be with them asleep and dreaming
I'll be there when they wake up screaming
At the hour of death then I will nurse them
To have a moment more to curse them
[Verse 2]
Watch the maggots crawl out of them
Hear the angels call above them
See them as the cold air sucks them
Down to hell, goodnight, God love them
[Verse 3]
If any should escape above me
I'll beg and cheat until they trust me
And drag them down to be damned with me
Laugh at them as they forgive me
[Chorus]
Mother's eyes are sparkling diamonds
Still the moon shows no light
This rose is withered, may God deliver
The rake at the gates of hell tonight
[Verse 4]
I wish that they could walk forever
On the earth, alone, unfettered
'Til they pray for consolation
'Til they beg for sweet damnation
I'll be with them asleep and dreaming
I'll be there when they wake up screaming
At the hour of death then I will nurse them
To have a moment more to curse them
[Verse 2]
Watch the maggots crawl out of them
Hear the angels call above them
See them as the cold air sucks them
Down to hell, goodnight, God love them
[Verse 3]
If any should escape above me
I'll beg and cheat until they trust me
And drag them down to be damned with me
Laugh at them as they forgive me
[Chorus]
Mother's eyes are sparkling diamonds
Still the moon shows no light
This rose is withered, may God deliver
The rake at the gates of hell tonight
[Verse 4]
I wish that they could walk forever
On the earth, alone, unfettered
'Til they pray for consolation
'Til they beg for sweet damnation
