When everything lies calm and dark

No light´s left to light my life´s spark

Darkness embraces what´s left of my time

Close my eyes for the ferryman´s dime

No wealth in life can prepare for this price

Absence of light, ultimate sacrifice

Ultimate sacrifice! I know I will die tonight!

I know there will be no light! Just one final kiss from my bride!

Why am I the one to go? Haven´t I just cleansed my soul?

I led a life devote to faith, why must I face this cruel fate?

Please Lord, give me one final chance.

Please Lord, will you meet my demands?

Grant me, a new start in life to be good.

Give me, hope and all that what I never could.

I´m not ready to face my demise,

So many things that I´ve never tried.

I would carry my soul straight to hell,

If this would swallow the sound of the bell.

A barter for life on a plane high above,

The devil´s cauldron still sits on it´s stove.

Ultimate sacrifice! I know I will die tonight!

I know there will be no light! Just one final kiss from my bride!

Why am I the one to go? Haven´t I just cleansed my soul?

I led a life devote to faith, why must I face this cruel fate?

Please Lord, give me one final chance.

Please Lord, will you meet my demands?

Grant me, a new start in life to be good.

Give me, hope and all thet what I never could.
