about

the coming together of the two greatest forces; life and death, in matrimony

lyrics

hooded man at the age of town
eerie presence all around
driving rains relentless pour
darkness wrapped the night once more
windows shut and movements slow
no audience for his deathly show
voices hushed and lighting dim
no welcome for one so grim
one stinging beacon stood
chimney smoke and a smell so good
made his way as fate decreed
heard a voice singing happily
the ballad of life and death
all started when she said
come in out of the cold
just do as you are told
have some nice hot food
gotta get some life in you
warmed by fire and hunger sated
he'd never felt so contented
a thought occurred
d'you know who I am?
she laughed and said
you are death's man
he awoke with the dawn
one day turning into more
and so began the matrimony
life and death harmony
the ballad of life and death
all started when she said
come in out of the cold
just do as you're told
have some nice hot food
gotta get some life in you
