[Verse 1]
All hail the gates of darkness
All hail the gates of night
I´m coming a long way dancing
Just gimme sweet sweet lady
Another slice of your pie

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
