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
