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 but 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
