Needs Must He Go

[Verse 1]
Go slow, go slow
O horses of the night
Do not pass so swiftly through Heavens fair lights
The devils with their whips
They smite and urge me down the road
I see the jaws of Hell are open
To receive my soul

[Refrain]
Needs must he go
That the devil drives on
Needs must he go
That the devil drives on

[Verse 2]
No time, no time
The fiends shout at me
The fool who in earth has laughed
In Hell shall thou weep
O spare me, O spare me for this cannot be
Look not so fierce at me
O please let me breathe

[Refrain]
Needs must he go
That the devil drives on
Needs must he go
That the devil drives on

[Verse 1]
Go slow, go slow
O horses of the night
Do not pass so swiftly through Heavens fair lights
The devils with their whips
They smite and urge me down the road
I see the jaws of Hell are open
To receive my soul
