Departure of the Pale Horse

歌詞

Emerging into the light A thousand empty pages Left to me to write And I won't subjugate my dreams to mortality I won't live every day I have as if it is my last But I'll live each to the full The poison stops, its work is done I'm half surprised that I'm still standing I've returned to the road That I was on before this happened Seems so long ago The pale horse skulks away Its rider empty-handed It's not about some act of courage I only did what I was forced to My will to live was stronger than The will to die that I once had But that I have let go Never to return The preciousness of life The lesson that I've learned That I've learned, that you've learned And that we all are learning still (where is your victory? where is your sting?) I've looked death in the eye Turned and walked away There's nothing left to fear I have stood in the path of the tornado Where life goes by in the blink of an eye And they won't be selling tickets to my funeral, no tickets I've dreamt them, I've dreamt them, the nightmares from the pit I have broken the back of the noonday devil I've crushed the skull of the devil Let it rain, keep raining now, keep raining now, Keep raining now, keep raining now I've have brought my life in focus, I've brought my life in focus And it's perfect enough for me, it's perfect enough for me, It's perfect enough me I will begin again, I will begin again I'm stronger than death And the pale horse departs
