O Death 04:30
O Death O Death, O Death Won't you spare me for another year O Death, O Death Won't you spare me for another year What is this that I can't see With ice cold hands takin' hold of me Whoa, death someone would pray Could you wait to call me another day O Death, O Death… The children prayed, the preacher preached Time and mercy is out of your reach I'm death I come to take the soul Leave the body and leave it cold O Death, O Death… I'll fix your feet til you cant walk I'll lock your jaw so you cant talk I'll close your eyes so you can't see This very hour, come and go with me O Death, O Death… Well you're hurtin' my body You make me cold You run my life right outta my soul To draw up the flesh off of the frame Dirt and worm both have a claim O Death, O Death…

Darkness All I See The winter wind weeps Oh come dearest sleep The night is so cold My grief unfolds Darkness all that I see Madness come for me Darkness all that I see Madness come for me Oh the morning comes But I am numb Light does seize my brain Oh with searing pain. Darkness all that I see Madness come for me Darkness all that I see Madness come for me Round about midnight With sorrow I did fight Mad the roaring wind Pain my dearest friend Darkness all that I see Madness come for me Darkness all that I see Madness come for me Madness come for me Madness come for me

Mystery Train Climb aboard That long black train Well, it took my baby, Never will again Take a ride on the Mystery Train It's running straight down main Take a ride on the Mystery Train Let go of your pain Take a ride on the Mystery Train.... the Mystery Train Close your eyes Slip away Gravity that holds you down Just don't exist no more Take a ride on the Mystery Train It's running straight down main Take a ride on the Mystery Train Let go of your pain Take a ride on the Mystery Train.... the Mystery Train Take a ride on the Mystery Train…

Iron Man 05:09
Iron Man After school over with Chris Listening to records Boston and KISS His dad came home took off his boots Black head to toe sweat and soot Iron Man, Factory sucks your life away Bit by bit, day by day Iron Man, Iron Man To the steel mill every day Can't see another way The beast must feed I give it all it needs Iron Man, Factory sucks your life away Bit by bit, day by day Iron Man, Iron Man Life is hard Lord hear my plea There is nothing left of me I will never be free I guess Jesus done fogot me Iron Man, Factory sucks your life away Bit by bit, day by day Iron Man, Iron Man Can’t see a way to make it another day Iron Man, Iron Man Iron Man…

Wept Together I fled Him down the nights and days I fled Him down the labyrinthine ways I fled Him down the arches of years Of my own mind, and in the midst of tears In the rash my young powers I shook in desperate hours I am defenseless, utterly and now my life has left me In the morning when I rise All that's born dies My soul is drifting like a Feather Heaven and I wept together

Death Rattle Blues The end is near All I fear Was all in vain Only pain Alone afraid Begin to fade Death Rattle Can you hear that sound Death Rattle Darkness coming down Will I fight With all my might Here I pray I go away Here comes the night The dying light Death Rattle Can you hear that sound Death Rattle Darkness coming down Death comin down Death comin down Death comin down

You Will Sin 04:05
You Will Sin Where have I been what have I done Nowhere to hide nowhere to run Am I the evil one Now you've let him in God where have you been You will sin You will sin Flames of Hell he brings Laughing spread his wings You must do those wicked things Now you've let him in God where have you been You will sin You will sin Where do you begin Much to your chagrin You will sin You will sin

Angel of Death The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold, His brothers were gleaming in purple and gold; The sheen of their spears were like stars on the sea, When the blue wave rolls on Galilee. For the Angel of Death spread his wings, And all of Hell he brings; The eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill, Their hearts once heaved, but for ever grew still. There lay the steed with his nostril all wide, Through there rolled not the breath of his pride: The foam of his gasping lay white on the turf, Cold as the spray of the rock-beating surf. For the Angel of Death spread his wings, And all of Hell he brings; The eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill, Their hearts once heaved, but for ever grew still. There lay the rider distorted and pale, With dew on his brow and the rust on his mail; The tents were all silent, the banners alone, The lances unlifted, the trumpet unblown. For the Angel of Death spread his wings, And all of Hell he brings; The eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill, Their hearts once heaved, but for ever grew still. Angel of Death Angel of Death…

Gone 05:35
Gone Just a boy only want to play She said gonna see her today A note on the front door Wait here as the rain poured Broken glass and bloody hand Went next door didn't understand Sirens blare all I could do was pray You held her as she slipped away What went wrong Now she's gone gone gone What went wrong Now she's gone gone gone Now she's gone gone gone Her smile was a thin disguise Sadness behind her eyes She comes to me in my sleep And she gently weeps What went wrong Now she's gone gone gone What went wrong Now she's gone gone gone Now she's gone gone gone What went wrong And now she's gone

about

Volume 2
Songs about Death, Drugs and Rock n Roll

Black Death Wish is a one-man project by Mark Trammell. Volume 2 continues in a classic Doom vein but the lyrics are less Poe and more personal. Topics include earliest memories, battles with personal demons, defining moments and the inspiration for this whole thing. Gibson guitars, old amps and fuzz tomes are all still here.

Life is hard, Lord hear my plea. There is nothing left of me. I will never be free. I guess Jesus done forgot me.
