O Death

Oh death
Oh death
The children pray
And the preachers preach
Time and mercy
Are out of reach
Oh death
Oh death
Eat the flesh
From the frame
Dirt and words
Have the only claim
Leave the body
Leave it cold
Death has come
To take…
Oh death
Oh death

I wanna kill
My whole family
I wanna spill
Their blood, their blood
In the dirt
It’s what, it’s what
They deserve
I’m gonna do it
With my bare hands
I’m gonna do it
With my bare hands
Just like they taught me to
I’m gonna kill
My whole family
I’m gonna spill
Their blood, their blood
In the dirt
Before, before
They get me first
I’m gonna do it
With my bare hands
I’m gonna do it
With my bare hands
Just like they taught me to

Take this one
It’ll help your bones
Take this one
It’ll help your blood
Take this one
It’ll help with the pain
Take this one
It’ll help you run
Can I take one that will help me carry
The whole thing?
Can I take one that’ll make me forget
Everything I’ve ever seen?
Take this one
It’ll help you get far away from here
Take this one
It’ll help you forgive everything that’s happened
Take this one
It’ll make you sleep for 100 years
Take this one
It’ll help you run
Can I take one that will show me where
Her body has gone?
Can she take one that’ll make it okay
To die alone?
Mama
Mama
Mama
Mama
Take this pain
I don’t want to hold it anymore
Take this pain
I have more than I should
Take this pain
It’s taught me all it could
Take it
Take it
If I could take one
I could give to her if I see her
She can take as many
As she needs
If she takes one from me
It was hers anyway
She gave them all to me
She gave them all to me

I need
I need
Two coins
For the ferryman
Where I’m going
I can’t talk
Where I’m going
I can’t see
Where I’m going
I can’t walk
And nothing is all
That can follow me
I need
2 coins
For the ferryman
Eat the flesh
From the frame
Dirt and worms
Have the only claim
Leave the body
Leave it cold
Leave the body
Leave it cold
Leave the body
Leave it
I need
2 coins
I need
2 coins
I need
2 coins
For the ferryman

(The Hail Mary prayer)
Hail Mary, full of grace
Our Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou among women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus
Hail Mary, mother of God,
Pray for us,
Now and at the hour of our death
Hail Mary, full of grace
Our Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou among women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus
Hail Mary, mother of God,
Pray for us,
Now and at the hour of our death
Hail Mary, full of grace
Our Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou among women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus
Hail Mary, mother of God,
Pray for us,
Now and at the hour of our death
Amen
