Do What Must be Done
I could not stop for death
She kindly stopped for me
Mistress of grief and pain
Ravens wings and dark things
(Do what must be done)
No life left in my veins
So much sin stains my soul
Darkness set free to fly
Just as the day must die
(Do what must be done)
(Chorus)
Secrets safe locked away
With heavy iron chains
Sinister sick unease
Prostrate on bended knee
(Do what must be done)
Untold centuries fade away
Hands still clutch at life
Bones long in the dust
All must fade and fall
(Chorus)
I could not stop for death
She kindly stopped for me
Mistress of grief and pain
Ravens wings and dark things
