He arrives taking ransom
Came at night for those who owed
Came for the poor, and the handsome
Gone before sunrise broke the cold
You can’t escape
The soul taker
You can’t escape
The un-maker
Many a man has tried to bargain
Many a man has tried to plea
The Devil-man chuckles at desperate folly
No one beholden can ever flee
You can’t escape
The soul taker
You can’t escape
The un-maker
Won’t you spare me
Won’t you spare me
Release me from
Eternity
He arrives taking ransom
Came at night for those who owed
Came for the poor as well as the handsome
Left before sunrise, the morning glow
You can’t escape
The soul taker
You can’t escape
The un-maker
