You left some hope instilled in me That I never should give up on anything I know this made you proud of me So this song remains for those who hurt like me. The man in black. He rides alone to a final destination unknown. The man in black. He rides alone: he's moving on. Not coming home. I used to be the fearless one. Living each day like death would never come Now I feel his cold breath on my neck He's watching my steps and telling me that I could be next. Before I used to take these wings and I'd fly so high (I'd fly so high. I tried.) Now I live in regret never coming down to say goodbye Oh why can't I? The man in black. He rides alone to a final destination unknown. The man in black. He rides alone: he's moving on. I can't follow. I used to be the fearless one. Living each day like death would never come Now I feel his cold breath on my neck He's watching my steps and telling me that I could be next. So make way for the man in black So make way. He's never coming back. I am so lost at sea Ryan, shine the light for me I'm sinking, I can't swim I need you here to pull me in I am so lost at sea Ryan, shine your light for me I'm sinking, I can't swim I miss you brother. You will never dim.
