Lyrics
The man in black comes around He blacks the light, he blacks the sound Just far enough, he takes from here, to rise above the myth of fear Then lay your soul in life not found Open up your gate Spirit dilate Watch the falling sand Slipping through his hand Open up your gate Spirit dilate Whisper to your friends “Death is not the end” Not the end Not the end It’s the beginning Drop the hourglass of time Spilling sand we will not find Dearly beloved, we gather today to say goodbye and find our way Bid farewell with closing eyes Open up your gate Spirit dilate Watch the falling sand Slipping through his hand Open up your gate Spirit dilate Whisper to your friends “Death is not the end” Not the end Not the end It’s the beginning I’ve been a rambler the light changes me I’ve been a gambler the light sets me free Done the time in this hell Accept the toll of the bell The man in black has turned to light and shall return for you tonight So say goodbye to your old self Open up your gate Spirit dilate Watch the falling sand Slipping through his hand Open up your gate Spirit dilate Whisper to your friends “Death is not the end” Not the end Not the end It’s the beginning© 2006 Creeping Death Music (Global Music Rights)
