I Made a Date (with an Open Vein)

I made a date with an open vein
(The rain falls down on everyone)
And with scarlet matter emblazoned your name
(How long, shrouded stranger, how long?)
I lived the life of an ascetic seer
(The rain falls down on everyone)
And made it to heaven, but she wasn't there
(How long, shrouded stranger, how long?)
So I bailed out of that go-fucking-cloud
(The rain falls down on everyone)
'Twas meat-coloured wings that delivered me down
(How long, shrouded stranger, how long?)
If I was a vengeful god, but you weren't to blame
(The rain falls down on everyone)
I would build you an ark and then pray for the rain
(How long, shrouded stranger, how long?)
And when I die, my tombstone will say
(The rain falls down on everyone)
"He died mostly in love and lived mostly in hate"
(How long, shrouded stranger, how long?)
How long, not so long
'Til death knocks at your door
As the rain falls on everyone
So the reaper keeps his score
How long, not so long
'Til death knocks at your door
As the rain falls on everyone
So the reaper keeps his score
How long, not so long
'Til death knocks at your door
As the rain falls on everyone
So the reaper keeps his score
How long, not so long
'Til death knocks at your door
As the rain falls on everyone
So the reaper keeps his score
How long, not so long
'Til death knocks at your door
As the rain falls on everyone
So the reaper keeps his score
How long, not so long
'Til death knocks at your door
As the rain falls on everyone
So the reaper keeps his score
How long, not so long
'Til death knocks at your door
As the rain falls on everyone
So the reaper keeps his score
