Death Returns... Lyrics

There's a hellhound on my trail so I've gotta keep moving
Yesterday gets faster and faster
Two dealers at the doorway who wish to get inside
Seems I'm out of places to hide
They said to me

"Meet the man down at the crossroads
Under the lantern of the moon
You can learn the secrets of the dead but remember
When the sands run low he'll reach for your soul"

When Death returns you will not see her face
Only black frozen breath
If you strike the deal the Devil gets his due
Then Death returns for you

I met Legba at the gateway, his words flashed before my eyes
Forbidden knowledge always has a price
"So come with me, my child, and I'll give you this advice"
He tipped his hat, gave me a grin
Then he said

"Play your song down at the graveyard
For the haints at the strike of midnight
To see the eyes of the dead, just remember
When the sands run low he's comin' for your soul"

When Death returns you will not see her face
Only black frozen breath
If you strike the deal the Devil gets his due
Then Death returns
For you

"Play your song down at the graveyard
For the haints at the strike of midnight
To see the eyes of the dead, just remember
When the sands run low he's comin' for your soul"

When Death returns you will not see her face
Only black frozen breath
If you strike the deal the Devil gets his due
Then Death returns
For you
When Death returns
