A single silent bullet
Flying through the air
Will it find it's target
Fate will take it thereWho's name is written on it
No one has a clue
Will it find a victim
Could be youI have seen the angel, the messenger of death
Riding out across the crimson sky
He comes to take another soul away from the sanctuary
He who plays the game must surely dieBut someone has to pay the ferryman
To sail across the sea of life
Someone has to pay the ferryman
To sail across the sea of lifeSea of life
Sea of lifeYour life is held in balance
On a slender silken thread
Weaving through the tapestries of timeWe can walk the road together
Can you take me by the hand
Maybe we can find your promised landI can hear the darkness falling somewhere in the night
Reaching out across the cold black sky
Could this be a twist of fate your written destiny
Or could the angel simply pass you bySomeone has to pay the ferryman
To sail across the sea of life
Someone has to pay the ferryman
To sail across the sea of lifeSea of life
Sea of lifeSomeone has to pay the ferryman
To sail across the sea of life
To sail across the sea of lifeA single silent bullet
Flying through the air
Will it find it's target
Fate will take it thereWho's name is written on it
No one has a clue
Will it find a victim
Could be youCould be you
Could be you
Could be you
Could be, could be youSea of life
Could be you
Sea of life
Could be, could be youSea of life
Could be you
Sea of life
Could be youSea of life
Could be you
Sea of life
Could be, could be youSea of life
Could be, could be
Could be you
Sea of life
