You stare at the clock because you can feel
Your time slowly slipping away
You try to weasel your way out of paying the toll
But it's one you have to pay
A venomous tongue takes you from your feet
And brings you to your knees
You start to cry but its all in vain because Giltine
Will not heed your weak pleas
She'll take you away from your happy or horrid life
No matter what you do
You can't run and you can't hide from Giltine's sting
She'll always come and find you

Wear a smile before Yama takes it away
Do what you must in the time you can stay
Hold a lover close and right before the end
Maybe Mr. Black will let you say good-bye to your friends
Close your eyes, take a breath, go out like a man
Just accept your fate and take hold of the Dead Angel's hand

Here comes the Angel who flies with blackened wings
Coming to take your soul
Thanantos will take you to the bank of the blackened river
So you can pay your toll
You can cry if you want but the gods will not hear you now
You're beyond any hurt or help
So look across the river at what awaits your sudden arrival
Be it heaven or wretched hell
Before you cross, feel free to look back at everyone and thing
That you are leaving behind
But don't stare too long at the past because I guarantee that
You will surely lose your mind

It'll be easy if you go along for the ride
Even though this is eating you inside
You'll leave even if you scream all the while
Just relax and trust the black angel's smile
It'll be painless so please just close your eyes
You can't run away because everyone dies

The hourglass is always tilted, slowly pouring away
Never making a sound
Azrael will come to escort you from your mortal shell
Before you hit the ground
Please don't weep and do your best not to worry
I promise that I'll be fine
Ankou can prove to be one of your greatest friends
Just like you were mine
Once you cross that immortal river, will you please wait
It won't be long you see
Because once the dark man with the scythe is done with you
He'll be coming for me

It'll be easy if you go along for the ride
Even though this is eating you inside
Hold a lover close and right before the end
Maybe Mr. Black will let you say good-bye to your friends
It'll be painless so please just close your eyes
You can't run away because everyone dies

Wear a smile before Yama takes it away
Do what you must in the time you can stay
You'll leave even if you scream all the while
Just relax and trust the black angel's smile
Close your eyes, take a breath, go out like a man
Just accept your fate and take hold of the Dead Angel's hand
