All hail the gates of darkness All hail the gates of night I’m coming a long way dancing Singing with a twilight in my eyes Just gimme sweet sweet lady Another slice of your pie Sing a song for six pence A pocket full of rye Ten and twelve blackbirds Baked in a pie Kill the king of darkness Steal the queen of night And down comes a blackbird Trying to peck off your eye Thank you for your highness Thank you for your wine I’m leaving before the sunrise Traveling with the shadows by my side Just gimme sweet sweet lady One last kiss of good-bye Sing a song for six pence A pocket full of rye Ten and twelve blackbirds Baked in a pie Kill the king of darkness Steal the queen of night And down comes a blackbird Trying to peck off your eye Gimme gimme Gimme gimme Some blackbird pie Gotta gimme Gotta gimme Some blackbird pie
