Pogues, The. Rake At The Gates Of Hell. Zeneszám

:
I'll be with them asleep or dreaming

I'll be there when they wake up screaming

at the hour of death 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 good night good luck

then 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



Mothers eyes are sparking diamonds

still the moon shows no likeness

roses wither may god deliver

the rake at the gates of hell tonight



I wish that they could walk forever

on the earth alone unfettered

until they pray for consummation

until they beg for sweat damnation

then I'll come and bring them water

bring them hope, bring them laughter

raise their hopes both sad and sunken

slash them up as they lie there drunken

push them down into the fowl mud

until they choke up on their own blood

drag them out before their last breath

to take away the mercy of death



mothers eyes are sparking diamonds

still the moon shows no likeness

roses wither may god deliver

the rake at the gates of hell tonight.
