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'd never want me to appear You'd never want it to be over You never wanted 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've done You cannot undo I have always kept you closer than you've known I, I am riding in the shadows behind you On a pale white horse You'd would never want me to appear You'd never want this to be over Someone's flesh is rotting tonight Like no other to you What you've done You cannot undo While you sleep in earthly delight Still your soul will suffer this plight Like your father in hell What you've sold you can not unsell ♪ While you sleep in earthly delight Someone's flesh is rotting tonight Like no other to you What you've done, you cannot 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
