Gentleman Death -DevilsRoad-

I saw a boy come by today,
He came knocking, knocking at our door
He asked where I was, It was time for play
And then you said I was "No More."

"No more?" he asked,
"Yes, no more" You said
And your hushed voices were exchanged.
He grew pale, then turned around,
and walked away kind of deranged.

I saw a girl come by today,
She came knocking, knocking at our door
She asked where I was, It was time for play
And then you said I was "No More."

"No more?" she asked
"Yes, no more" You said
and your quivering voices were exchanged.
She began to cry, "oh why oh why!"
Then collapsed. Now wasn't that strange?

Why did people come by in black? Come
knocking, knocking, softly... at our door?
Why were there tears in their eyes?
Why did they scream "Lord,please no...No!"

And Why did that thing come by the other day?
and come knocking, knocking, at our door...
It called out my name, in a soft, gentle way
And whispered that I "needn’t fear anymore" ?

Why did I feel such a chill?
Why did did it take me by the hand?
Why did it feel like such a thrill?
And why did it shatter an hourglass of sand?

I asked if you could come with us,
and It said it couldn't be done.
I'm sorry I couldn't stay, I really am,
But now... It and I are One.

It taught me everything I know now,
It showed me how to arise deep in the night,
Taught me how to hunt, how to eat, how to Live
How to disappear, manipulate, and how to fight.

So I went to somebody’s door today,
under the light of the moon.
I blew them all death’s kiss, lovingly,
and promised I'd be back for them soon.

I told them to not be afraid,
That they'd be Alive forevermore...
That I'd come around Knocking, knocking,
That I present them with me, Gentleman Death, at their door.
