Rake At The Gates Of Hell (Movie Version).

This is the lyrics for the version of this song that was used in the movie "Straight To Hell".

I'll be with them asleep and dreaming
I'll be there when they wake with screaming
At dying hour I will nurse them
To have a moment more to curse them
Watch the maggots crawl out of them
Hear the angels call above them
Watch them as the cold air sucks them
Down to hell, goodnight, God love them
If any should escape above me
Beg and cheat until they trust me
Drag them down to be damned with me
Laugh at them as they forgive me

Mother's eyes are sparkling diamonds,
Still the star show no light
This rose is withered, God deliver
The rake at the gates of hell tonight

I wish that they could walk forever,
On the earth, alone, unfettered
Til they pray for sweet damnation,
Til they beg for warmth and consolation,
Then I'll come and give them water,
Share their pain, share their laughter
Raise their hopes so sad and sunken
Slash them up as they lie there drunken
Push them down into the foul mud
‘Til they choke up on their own blood
Pull them out before their last breath
Rob them of the mercy of the death

Mother's eyes are sparkling diamonds
Still the star shows no light
This rose is withered, God deliver
The rake at the gates of hell tonight

Mother's eyes are sparkling diamonds
Still the star shows no light
This rose is withered, God deliver
The rake at the Gates of Hell tonight

Mother's eyes are sparkling diamonds
Still the star shows no light
This rose is withered, God deliver
The rake at the gates of hell tonight

Mother's eyes are sparkling diamonds
Still the star shows no light
This rose is withered, God deliver
The rake at the gates of hell tonight

Mother's eyes are sparkling diamonds
Still the star shows no light
This rose is withered, God deliver
The rake at the gates of hell tonight
