The Rider of Death

Progressive Metal, tenor male vocals, fast tempo, aggressive, harmony, angry, complex, spooky

Is it all just a circus
Circling a winding clock
An endless death dance
That will never stop....

You know your time has come
You're just too frail
No one will ever know you
They won't hear  your tale
Have you asked the questions
Of why you're here?
You know they can tell you
What you most fear

Is it wrong to be afraid
Of what comes at the end?

Is it all just darkness,
Or does the soul ascend?

Is it all just one big circus
As we're winding down our clock?

Will you mention it to God
As your heart begins to stop?

Does your life pass before you
When you draw your last breath?

Has he answered all your prayers
As you beg mercy from death?

Have you made your preparations
Who did you tell?
You know where you're going
This is gonna be hell
Have you learned to deal with
All of your pain
Will it all come slowly
Or will you need to wait?
Is it all just a simple illusion
A moment in time
Or is this the true reality
Lost in your mind?

Is it wrong to be afraid
Of what comes at the end?

Is it all just darkness,
Or does the soul ascend?

Is it all just one big circus
As we're winding down our clock?

Will you mention it to God
As your heart begins to stop?

Does your life pass before you
When you draw your last breath?

Has he answered all your prayers
As you beg mercy from death?

I don't know why
You won't learn to accept
Your unwelcomed visit
By the rider of Death
Your light will flicker
Till there's none left
For all the pain
Of this life bereft
There is no legacy
They won't remember
What your life is
Or who you were

Is it all just one big circus
As we're winding down our clock?

Will you mention it to God
As your heart begins to stop?

Does your life pass before you
When you draw your last breath?

Has he answered all your prayers
As you beg mercy from death?

So now you must ask yourself
What is this for?
As your grasping for air
Down on the floor
Is this life all just bullshit
Just ask God why
We're put in this cruel world
Only to die
Where's your fucking savior
To save you now?
As you now greet death
With his vile smile

Is it wrong to be afraid
Of what comes at the end?

Is it all just darkness,
Or does the soul ascend?

Is it all just one big circus
As we're winding down our clock?

Will you mention it to God
As your heart begins to stop?

Does your life pass before you
When you draw your last breath?

Has he answered all your prayers
As you beg mercy from death?

[Outro][Guitar Harmony][Fade to End]

Someone tell me
Where's your savior now?
Someone tell me
Where's your savior now?
Someone tell me
Where's your savior now?
