Married at eighteen
Bought a modest house
Worked in the machine
Began to hate his spouse
Together had a child
Divorce a next step
Une femme he beguiled
Oh for weeks he wept
He turned to the drink
A home had he not
I sat; watched him sink
His mind seemed to rot
Beheld his final breath
Guided him through death
I mean no harm
All dressed in black
I do my job
I cannot slack
Please do not beg
And do not cry
Their fates are sealed
I'm your ally
I'll take good care
They're safe with me
The afterlife
Is good, you'll see
This angel's life
Is hard enough
It's all I have
My work is tough
Never knew the dad
Was a one night stand
Not even a grad
Received not one hand
Worked nine to seven
Couldn't grant her son
Believed in heaven
A much better one
Couldn't take much more
So she swallowed her pills
Fell down to the floor
As her kid felt chills
Beheld her final breath
Guided her through death
I mean no harm
All dressed in black
I do my job
I cannot slack
Please do not beg
And do not cry
Their fates are sealed
I'm your ally
I'll take good care
They're safe with me
The afterlife
Is good, you'll see
This angel's life
Is hard enough
It's all I have
My work is tough
