Rake At The Gates Of Hell Lyrics

Rake At The Gates Of Hell lyrics

I'll be with them asleep and dreaming 

I'll be there when they wake with screaming 

At the hour of death then I will nurse them 

To have a moment more to curse them 

Watch the maggots crawl out of them 

Hear the angels call above them 

Watch them as the cold air sucks them 

Down to hell, goodnight, God love them 

If any should escape above me 

Beg and cheat until they trust me 

Drag them down to be damned with me 

Laugh at them as they forgive me 



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 

Yigh! 



I wish that they could walk forever, 

On the earth, alone, unfettered 

Til they pray for consolation, 

Til they beg for sweet damnation 

Then I'll come and bring them water, 

Bring them hope, bring them laughter 

Raise their hopes so sad and sunken 

Slash them up as they lie there drunken 

Push them down into the foul mud 

'Til they choke up on their own blood 

Drag them out before their last breath 

To take away the mercy of death 



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 

Yigh! 



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 



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
