The New Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Man in black comes around
Paints the town, black's the sound
You'll be remembered, or forever coming back
In the sand into the ground
Open up your gate
Spirits dilate
Clinging on the sand
Slips into his hand
Open up your gate
Spirits dilate
Warning to my friends
Death is not the end
Not the end
It's the beginning
Done my time in this hell
Hear the toll of the bell
Dearly beloved we are gathered here today
To say goodbye to ourselves
Open up your gate
Spirits dilate
Keeping on the sand
Rip into his hand
Open up your gate
Spirits dilate
Whisper to my friend
Death is not the end
Not the end
Not the end
It's the beginning
I've been a rambler
The light sets me free
I've been a gambler
The light sets me free
Sets me free
I've been a rambler
The light sets me free
I've been a gambler
The light sets me free
Sets me free
Man in black walks around
Black's the light, black's the sound
Dearly beloved we are gathered here today
Wave goodbye to our old selves
Open up your gate
Spirits dilate
Watch the falling sand
Slip into his hand
Open up your gate
Spirits dilate
Whisper to my friend
Death is not the end
Not the end
Not the end
It's the beginning
Death is not the end
