He leaves no footprints as he goes
Across the frozen lakes and ponds
He walks steadfast till break of dawn
To reach a cabin on the hill
Though he is safe from winter's chill
And through the window I should see
This man in black has come for me!
Faster, faster through the snows
He leaves no footprints as he goes!
Oh feel my heart pound 'neath my flesh!
Gasping, choking with each breath...
Lightning quick through the snows
He makes no footprints as he goes!
I hear him knocking--Death draws near!
"Hello, my friend. I know you're here...
Put the kettle on, I've come to dine."
With this I know it is my time
And so if Death should come to greet you
Let him in--he's come to meet you...
