Angel of Death Lyrics by Paul Kelly

Death’s Dateless Night

2016

In the great book of John
You're warned of the day
When you'll be laid
Beneath the cold clay
The Angel of Death
Will come from the sky
And claim up your soul
When the time comes to die
When the Angel of Death
Comes down after you
Can you smile and say
That you've been true
Can you truthfully say
With your dying breath
That you're ready to meet
The Angel of Death
When the lights all grow dim
And dark shadows creep
And all your loved ones
Are gathered to weep
Can you face them and say
With your dying breath
That you're ready to meet
The Angel of Death
When the Angel of Death
Comes down after you
Can you smile and say
That you've been true
Can you truthfully say
With your dying breath
That you're ready to meet
The Angel of Death
Are you ready to meet
The Angel of Death
