Through the mist a shape appears
A shrieking noise that causes fear
The fate that awaits us all, I must face


A presence uninvited
Shrouded by the veils of the dark

The infernal apparition
With the burning eyes
A visit from the dark side

Watching, waiting for the time to act
I fear this ghastly being
Is Death disguised


The one who waits in the end
Is the watcher in the dark


A blackened hearse waits by his side
All that's left is one long ride

A destiny I must abide
My end is here
He points toward the journey's end

Beyond a path that will descend
The destination I apprehend
My day of reckoning


Faith failed me
Now I face the end

All hope's gone
As I've been forsaken


A promise unfulfilled
Shattered by the call from beyond
Judged by the eerie gaze

From his burning eyes
I shiver in the darkness
Panting, breathing, gasping for air

A sudden revelation:
It's my demise


The one who waits in the end
Is the watcher in the dark


A blackened hearse waits by his side
All that's left is one long ride
A destiny I must abide

My end is here
He points toward the journey's end
Beyond a path that will descend

The destination I apprehend
My day of reckoning


I accept that my time here is over
My home is inside the darkness
Into the night the hearse will take me

I cope with fate, let's take a ride

The Phantom Carriage

Toward the journey's end
The Phantom Carriage
Will carry me home
