You have never stood this close, to where you want to be

You have always waded in the shallows

Between me and the deep blue sea

You would never want me to appear

You never want this to be over

You never want it to reach out to the edge of time

While you sleep in earthly delight

Someone's flesh is rotting tonight

Like no other to you

What you have done

You can never undo

I have always kept you closer than you have known

I am riding in the shadows behind you

On a pale white horse

You would never want me to appear

You never want this to be over

Someone's flesh is rotting tonight

Like no other to you

What you have done

You can never undo

While you sleep in earthly delight

Still your soul will suffer this plight

Like your father in hell

What you have sold you can not unsell

While you sleep in earthly delight

Someone's flesh is rotting tonight

Like no other to you

What you have done, you can never undo

While you sleep in earthly delight

Still your soul will suffer this plight

But like a mother would save

Her own child from digging a grave
