Down Among the Dead Men Songtext
von The Devil's Interval

Here′s a health to the King and a lasting peace
To faction an end, to wealth increase
Come let's drink while we have breath
For there′s no drinking after death
And he that will this health deny
Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men let him lie


Let charming beauty's health go round
In whom celestial joys are found
May confusion still pursue
The selfish woman-hating crew
And he that woman's health deny
Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men let him lie

In smiling Bacchus′ joys I′ll roll
Deny no pleasure to my soul
Let Bacchus' health round briskly move
For Bacchus is a friend to love
And he that will this drink deny
Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men let him lie


May love and wine their rights maintain
And their united pleasure reign
While Bacchus′ treasure crowns the board
We'll sing the joy that both afford
And they that won′t with us comply
Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men let them lie
