Death Returns...

There's a hellhound on my trail so I've gotta keep moving

Yesterday gets faster and faster

Two dealers at the doorway who wish to get inside

Seems I'm out of places to hide

They said to me

"Meet the man down at the crossroads

Under the lantern of the moon

You can learn the secrets of the dead but remember

When the sands run low he'll reach for your soul"

When Death returns you will not see her face

Only black frozen breath

If you strike the deal the Devil gets his due

Then Death returns for you

I met Legba at the gateway, his words flashed before my eyes

Forbidden knowledge always has a price

"So come with me, my child, and I'll give you this advice"

He tipped his hat, gave me a grin

Then he said

"Play your song down at the graveyard

For the haints at the strike of midnight

To see the eyes of the dead, just remember

When the sands run low he's comin' for your soul"

When Death returns you will not see her face

Only black frozen breath

If you strike the deal the Devil gets his due

Then Death returns

For you

"Play your song down at the graveyard

For the haints at the strike of midnight

To see the eyes of the dead, just remember

When the sands run low he's comin' for your soul"

When Death returns you will not see her face

Only black frozen breath

If you strike the deal the Devil gets his due

Then Death returns

For you

When Death returns
