The Phantom Carriage

Say what you will but I know that I have to die I'll be what you need for now then I must say goodbye For the longest time Are leaves sure to blow? A soul is a soul We wouldn't be here if we couldn't pass over Closing your eyes it won't take back the fear I tried There's no numb to help and I've seen just the worst of our lives We can't hide no more A deal is a deal A ghost is a ghost The world is a graveyard right over your shoulder Fled without trace There's no leaving this place right now Cause I wouldn't ride the carriage so long if I knew a way out To a life unknown But there's only pain in the hands that you hold A phantom that lingers on every lie I told There's no saving grace when they don't know the face they forgot about So we're marching along at the pace the procession will place I'm in no rush at all The clock will strike twelve when the old year is done A new blame for death I'm the end for our years to come
