You (you) 
 Have never stood this close to where you want to be 
 You (you) 
 Have always waded in the shallows 
 Between me and the deep blue sea 
    You'd never want me to appear 
 You never want it 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've done you cannot undo   
 I (I) 
 Have always kept you closer than you've known 
 I (I) 
 I am riding in the shadows 
 Behind you on a pale white horse   
 You'd 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'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 cannot 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
