Lyrics

[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 [Verse 5] Then I'll come and bring them water Share their hopes and share their laughter Raise their hopes so sad and sunken Slash them up as they lie there drunken [Verse 6] 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 [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 [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 [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
