Godfather Death Lyrics

A man was suffering from poverty

I mean he could taste the poor in his mouth and he had 12 kids obviously

When the thirteenth one arrived he said your kidding me you gotta be

I've run out of relations that could be godfathers possibly

So he went down the road on the lookout for someone to be

The baby's godfather and the very first one he sees

Is believe it or not

God but the man refuses stubbornly

He says you've always fucked with me

You only love the monarchy

And people that are rich and own bare property

It's blatant inequality

You won't be my youts godfather Your disposition bothers me

So he continues down the road responsibly

And bumps into the Devil yes the Devil what a comedy

Well you can't be the Godfather the man goes to him solemnly

You're deceitful and disgraceful and you're tricking people constantly

And with that he walked on till he bumped into Death yeah honestly

Then asked him do you wanna be Godfather to my progeny

And Death said

I can make him feel like he's conquered time

Give him bones of steel and the blood of wine

I can teach him arts long forgotten

How to heal what is rotten and conceal all the problems inside

The boy was christened and Death took the godfather position

On a mission to impart his wisdom the hardest decision

He shared the secret of dying and living

On the boys nineteenth birthday he took him aside and said listen

These herbs can give life just apply them to victims

And they'll find that they've risen to a higher position

But if you see me standing there you mustn't try but just give in

For that means their time has come and you can hire a mortician

But never try to cheat me boy there's no defying the system

The boy promised Death that he would not deny his permission

After several years the boy was an admired physician

He healed the sick just like some kind of magician it's quite a tradition

One day he saw a patient in a frightened condition

She was a girl about to die Death stood beside her and listened

As she cried the boy decides to save her life in an instant

He administered the herbs then said

Can I be forgiven?

But Death said

That wasn't the deal though Godson of mine

Now I shall reveal there's another sign

When I lift my scythe you'll be gone and then the price for her problem is your life

So long and goodbye
