I'm on the verge of dreaming
Stuck in the land in between
And I've heard demons seething
My mother says"Oh pray with me"
She says"Say the words
To keep the beasts at bay"
She says"Follow my cadence; listen to me"
And she says
She says"I lay my head down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
And if I die, before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take"
She says"Oh, honey boy, as long as you keep your faith
The demons will be held at bay"
But, Mama, they're closing in on me now
But, Mama, they're closing in on me now
Pray the lord my soul to take
If I die before I wake
So, please Lord, have my soul to keep
If I die in the middle of my sleep
My mother says"Pray with me"
As my mother says"Pray with me"
