Inevitability

Inevitability There’s nowhere to run and nowhere to hide When the ghost of that figure stands by your side Too late for repentance that time it has past The last grain of sand has dropped in the glass The time it is written there is no escape From the skeletal figure in the long black cape The clock has stopped ticking its time now to go And the ghost he will take you, you cannot no Begging won’t stop it there’s no turning back Cos every road taken leads down to this track The time it is written there is no escape From the skeletal figure in the long black cape Like a wave on the ocean or the rising of the sun It’s certain the ghost one day he will come The poor man the rich man unknown or fame The candles’ last flicker will extinguish the flame The time it is written there is no escape From the skeletal figure in the long black cape
