Death Knell - Take You to Meet the Lord

Donny boy, O Donny boy, the rope is calling
Donny boy, O Donny boy, the rope is calling
Donny boy, O Donny boy, the rope is calling
Gonna take you to meet the Lord.
See angels flying above, then walk on clouds to see The Pearly Gates
There are no con-men allowed. No lies, no grifts, and no fake universities
Hark! The Angels sing their songs
Then up comes Peter with his lists and his psalms, and he says
"Hell is too good for you, Donny - to torture you unending ways
No. We need something more suitable to your particular tastes"
Donny boy, O Donny boy, the rope is calling
Donny boy, O Donny boy, the rope is calling
Donny boy, O Donny boy, the rope is calling
Gonna take you to meet the Lord
Gonna take you to meet the Lord.
You're falling to the Earth now, the wind is moving fast
Your flesh is being ripped away, new skin put into its place, new clothes on your back
You are now penniless
Living in your own curated world of cruelty
All of your surgery is gone
Nobody recognizes who you might have been
But at least there's still the news
But something is amiss
It's only a year since your passing and no one remembers your name
The only thing that they know about you is collective anger and shame
And so we sing
Donny boy, O Donny boy, the rope is calling
Donny boy, O Donny boy, the rope is calling
Donny boy, O Donny boy, the rope is calling
Gonna take you to meet the Lord
Gonna take you to meet the Lord.
