Now your time has come, you've gotta travel away
But where your path will lead, no man can say
Look back on your life, hear the mourners' song
Just your inner conscience betrays your wrongs
Watch the road unfold before you
Is this not what you thought you'd see?
Shrug away the chains that bound you
You'll stand alone in the dark
But still you don't feel free
Sail away along the river
Where the souls of dead men moan
Will your road go on forever?
Could they leave you here alone? No
Through the white marble gates
Down the dimly lit path
Looking over your shoulder
Did you hear someone laugh?
See the bright lights ahead
They possess their own call
Unaware that you're dead
Got your back to the wall
The gates of justice now closed
Hear the key in the lock
Watch and your path will unfold
As you stand alone in the dark
In the dark
In the dark
Trying to find a place to hide
As from the bonds of life you're freed
Satan, laughing, creeps inside
Attracted by your wealth and greed
All at once you see your jury
All the bastards you have spurned
The judge's eyes ablaze with fury
You stand alone now
Feel the flames begin to burn
You're gonna stand
Alone in the dark
