She closed her eyes, and said goodnight
as thunder rolled throughout the sky
she breathed solemnly in a deep peaceful sleep
after she prayed to the lord her soul to keep
she didn't think about it after she turned of that light
the lord could take her soul tonight
the windows shuttered as the wind spoke
and death covered her in a blackened cloak
she dreamed of love as she was taken away
no one found her cold hollow body till the next day
everyone mourned on the funeral stairs
and that night her loved said his prayers
''as i lay me down to sleep
i pray the lord my soul to keep
and if i die before i awake, i pray the lord my soul to take
they found his hollow body on the bedroom floor
and the cross turned upside down, and his bedroom door
is it god thats taking your souls or is selling them for bread.
think about this children before you rest your little heads
