Death is present the candle has burned out
|
the scythe is raised he's eager to reap
|
the extreme unction prepares for the last flight
|
but God knows where you will rest
|
Dark are the veils of death
|
|
To sail the seas of eternal damnation
|
to cross the desert of woe and despair
|
or drink the chalice of divine ambrosia
|
Your life will be put to the test
|
Dark are the veils of death
|
|
Enter the great adventure
|
just wait and see
|
Heaven or hell will call you
|
now when your spirit is free
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Where can your salvation be
|
now when your spirit is free
|
where can your salvation be
|
now when your spirit is free
|
Fading light
|
disappearing light
|
tells you darkness is to come
|
Ancient rites
|
the death-mass itself
|
has never revealed where you will go
|
You will enter realms where angels fear to tread
|
open hidden doors within your mind
|
Sail with Charon sail into destiny
|
accept your death and make it to your own choice
|
