The man in black comes around
He blacks the light, he blacks the sound
Just far enough, he takes from here, to rise above the myth of fear
Then lay your soul in life not found

   Open up your gate
   Spirit dilate
   Watch the falling sand
   Slipping through his hand

   Open up your gate
   Spirit dilate
   Whisper to your friends
   "Death is not the end"

   Not the end
   Not the end
   It's the beginning

Drop the hourglass of time
Spilling sand we will not find
Dearly beloved we gather today to say goodbye and find our way
Bid farewell with closing eyes

   Open up your gate
   Spirit dilate
   Watch the falling sand
   Slipping through his hand

   Open up your gate
   Spirit dilate
   Whisper to your friends
   "Death is not the end"

   Not the end
   Not the end
   It's the beginning

   I've been a rambler the light changes me
   I've been a gambler the light sets me free

Done the time in this hell
Accept the toll of the bell
The man in black has turned to light and shall return for you tonight
So say goodbye to your old self

   Open up your gate
   Spirit dilate
   Watch the falling sand
   Slipping through his hand

   Open up your gate
   Spirit dilate
   Whisper to your friends
   "Death is not the end"

   Not the end
   Not the end
   It's the beginning
