Death is present the candle has burned out
   the scythe is raised he's eager to reap
   the extreme unction prepares for the last flight
   but God knows where you will rest
   Dark are the veils of death
  
   To sail the seas of eternal damnation
   to cross the desert of woe and despair
   or drink the chalice of divine ambrosia
   Your life will be put to the test
   Dark are the veils of death
  
   Enter the great adventure
   just wait and see
   Heaven or hell will call you
   now when your spirit is free
  
   Chorus:
   Where can your salvation be
   now when your spirit is free
   where can your salvation be
   now when your spirit is free
  
   Fading light
   disappearing light
   tells you darkness is to come
   Ancient rites
   the death-mass itself
   has never revealed where you will go
  
   You will enter realms where angels fear to tread
   open hidden doors within your mind
   Sail with Charon sail into destiny
   accept your death and make it to your own choice
