The Phantom Carriage

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
