lyrics

Standing on the riverbank standing near the bridge standing on the riverbank I swore I saw my end, the water it was rushing the water it was cold the water it was rushing as my future was foretold

It was my death, it was my death, it was my death, my bitter end

The darkness did surround me Weighted were my bones The darkness did envelope me as I awoke to a new shore
The sky it turned to darkness The night turned from the day The sky it turned to darkness as I received my judgment day

It was my death, it was my death, it was my death, my bitter end

I heard the devil laughing I heard his women moan I heard the devil laughing and I prayed god for my soul
His words were not of comfort Nor was his fire to my soul His words were not of comfort as he claimed me for his own

It was my death, it was my death, it was my death, my bitter end

His claws outstretched impale me His hooves they broke my bones His claws outstretched they flayed me and i woke back to my home
Was it just a dream Was any of it real Was it just a dream or just a nightmare so surreal

It was my death, it was my death, it was my death, my bitter end

I swear I'll change my ways I'll walk that straight and narrow
I won't place a bet or take a chance I'm a man of a new marrow
