Pogues - Rake At The Gates Of Hell Lyrics
Mother's eyes are sparkling diamonds,Still the moon shows no lightThis rose is withered, may God deliverThe rake at the gates of hell tonightYigh!I wish that they could walk forever,On the earth, alone, unfetteredTil they pray for consolation,Til they beg for sweet damnationThen I'll come and bring them water,Bring them hope, bring them laughterRaise their hopes so sad and sunkenSlash them up as they lie there drunkenPush them down into the foul mudTil they choke up on their own bloodDrag them out before their last breathTo take away the mercy of deathMother's eyes are sparkling diamondsStill the moon shows no lightThis rose is withered, may God deliverThe rake at the gates of hell tonightYigh!Mother's eyes are sparkling diamondsStill the moon shows no lightThis rose is withered, may God deliverThe rake at the Gates of Hell tonightMother's eyes are sparkling diamondsStill the moon shows no lightThis rose is withered, may God deliverThe rake at the gates of hell tonight
