Sound like I'm hearing moaning
Death bell ringing all in my head
Sound like I can hear moaning
Death bell ringing all in my head
Yeah, I know that I was gonna
Leave on a chariot but I didn't know
What kind of chariot gonna
Take me away from here
I want you to remember every living people
Every living people is bound to die
I want you to remember every living people
Every living people is bound to die
Yeah, you know when that chariot come at you
They'll break running, try to hide
You know my mama told me
You know my papa told me too
You know my mama told me
Oh, papa told me too
He said, "You know one day, son, that chariot
Oh Lord, coming after you"

Every living people is bound to die
I want you to remember every living people
Every living people is bound to die

You know my mama told me
Oh, papa told me too
He said, "You know one day, son, that chariot
Oh Lord, coming after you"
