Oh Death Art With Me

Oh Death Art With Me

(album: Holding His Breath - 2003)

I was courted by Death today
In an attempt to take my life
He showed up with a nice bouquet
Of flowers for my grave

He said, "Come with me now
And we can take my horse and carriage"
He led me six feet underground
Where the worms will eat my skin

"You will not need your body, son
For, the devil, he just wants your soul
He has had his eyes on you
Since the day you stepped in this world"
