Black milk of sorrow
Our drink for the night
And our drink for the daytime
The snake charmer finds his way out in the dark
In glistening starlight he summons his dogs
His slaves reappear and they do some more digging
They do some more dancing to the sound of his whip
Black milk of sorrow
Our drink for the night
And our drink for the daytime
We're building a graveyard way up in the sky
Dig deep in the ground now your dance is too slow
The slaves reappear and they do some more digging
They do some more dying to the sound of his wip
Black milk of sorrow
Our drink for the night
And our drink for the daytime
The sound of our violins is dark now and low
He gives us a grave now way up in the sky
The blue-eyed snake charmer's lead bullet will hit you
Will hit you for certain, he's not bound to fail
Black milk of sorrow
Our drink for the night
And our drink for the daytime
Our gravesite in heaven is spacious and wide
For Death is a master of German descent
Yes, Death is a master of German descent
