[Verse 1]
Laid on a table of granite and marble
His mouth and his eyes open wide
So enraptured, he'd seen the eternal life everlasting it seems
Just like the water that conquers your lungs
In the town that has trapped you with welcoming fingers
She whispers a lullaby, makes her excuses, and leaves
[Chorus]
O' gentle death, come sweetly
O' gentle death, come sweetly
With no purpose or meaning
[Verse 2]
The closer she gets, the more frequent the prayer
The darker the night, or the slower the air
Its the very last sigh that hangs in the windowless room
Acceptance is fleeting, I've come to a standstill
I have no concern for the questions or answers
So let the world know I was good, I was bad, and that's all
[Chorus]
O' gentle death, come sweetly
O' gentle death, come sweetly
With no purpose or meaning
[Bridge]
Read me my rights, I will not give in
Keep all my secrets to hide all my sins
[Chorus]
O' gentle death, come sweetly
O' gentle death, come sweetly
With no purpose or meaning
