lyrics

Death do me a favor, when you drag me to your boat
Please remind me on our journey that I’m better dead than not
Death oh please remind me when I’m singing by your side
That my will to keep on breathing ain’t no stronger than my pride

Farewell to my friends, I’ve got no regrets
Before the sun sets I’ll be on my way
With a hole in my head I will lay on my bed
And the Lord of the river will take me away

I could have killed them all, to them I owe my fall
But instead I have chosen to pay the price
Now it can’t be undone so I got myself a gun
With a shot in my head I would fall twice

Death do me a favor, when you drag me to your boat
Please remind me on our journey that I’m better dead than not
Death oh please remind me when I’m singing by your side
That my will to keep on breathing ain’t no stronger than my pride

I’ve sinned and I’ve prayed, I’ve loved, I’ve betrayed
My Gods and my Devils in my head’s civil war
So I drifted and fell between Heaven and Hell
And yet here I stand on the Grey River’s shore

The river Lord said “Forgive and forget
Make peace with your anger, your sorrow, your strife
Come join my crew, have a pint or a few
Let the living still worry about life”

Death do me a favor, when you drag me to your boat
Please remind me on our journey that I’m better dead than not
Death oh please remind me when I’m singing by your side
That my will to keep on breathing ain’t no stronger than my pride
