[Instrumental Intro]


[Verse 1]

Never thought my time was coming

Wasn't in my dreams

Twice I visioned I was falling down

Down to the ground, I screamed out loud, woke on a cloud

Never really a holy man even though

I understand the father son and Holy Ghost

He's the one that scares me most

Ashes to rain, you feel no pain


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 2]

Ohh! Hell fire burns my conscience

My mind explodes

Spine is severed, blood runs cold

Confess the deepest of sin, envision a king, with a white violin

Crucifix hung above my death bed begins to bleed

Imagination, lunacy, has he come to hear my plea

Grant absolution condone my sin


[Pre-Chorus]

The lady in black I ask what do you see

A glimpse in your glass what good fortune for me

The lady in black said "Your lifeline is damned"

The tarot of death card she held in her hand


[Chorus]

Kyrie Eleison

Christie Eleison

Kyrie Eleison

Christie Eleison

Ohh


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 3]

Segments of my life flash through my mind

Things never seen

It must be fate warning me

For now the walls are closing in

Rosary in hand, lost grain of sand

Here I go, I start to fall again

Try to scream, I'm mute

It is the end of my last fall

To the land of nevermore

Shatter her glass, I woke on the floor


[Pre-Chorus]

The lady in black I ask what do you see

A glimpse in your glass what good fortune for me

The lady in black said "Your lifeline is damned"

The tarot of death card she held in her hand


[Chorus]

Kyrie Eleison

Christie Eleison

Kyrie Eleison

Christie Eleison


[Outro]

Lord please have mercy on me
