[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] Mist clings to the marble stones Silence screams in hollow tones I walk the path where shadows creep While all the world is fast asleep [Pre-Chorus] The hourglass runs out of sand Time slips through my bony hand [Chorus] I carry light for those who fade Through the debt that must be paid No fear remains within my chest I guide you to your final rest [Verse 2] Red flowers bloom upon the grave Nothing left for me to save The scythe rests heavy on my shoulder As the night grows cold and older [Pre-Chorus] The hourglass runs out of sand Time slips through my bony hand [Chorus] I carry light for those who fade Through the debt that must be paid No fear remains within my chest I guide you to your final rest [Bridge] Look into the flame so bright It burns away the endless night Your story ends where mine begins Forgive me for your mortal sins [Solo] (Instrumental Solo) [Chorus] I carry light for those who fade Through the debt that must be paid No fear remains within my chest I guide you to your final rest [Outro] The lantern flickers low and dim The edge of night is sharp and grim
