She said mother I've been as wicked as the rest
But you promised me I'd die looking my best
I'm too weak now to say sorry for what I said
Oh mother, I've been as wicked as the rest

Hello, death
You've come again
My oldest friend

Carry my body through the traffic to the church
Sing for me the songs I never heard
Take my limbs and bury them in this earth
Sing for me to lift me from this curse

Hello, death
You've come again
My oldest friend

By the river, by the church
I saw a ghost I recognized
And he asked me what it's worth
To live another life
And I told him what I'd seen
Another world through his eyes
A fool in disguise, a fool in disguise

Hello, death
Hello, death
You've come again
My oldest friend
