The death bell was sounding
was oh, so confounding
to one who had triumphed
in so many feats.
A major upheaval for Evel Knievel,
to surrender to death
and acknowledge his frailty
as angels he greets.
From fame now to entrant
as one of God's children
our daredevil son smiles
and walks on God's streets.
His memory prevailing
on Earth as he leaves us
our Evel Knievel,
God's legions he meets.
