  all of your life now
  you have denied
  there'd be a time
  when you'd ever die
  still it's been rumored this thing must be
  
  why is it then that you act surprised
  when i appear now to be your guide
  why do you hesitate to follow me
  
  see it rising
  stare and wonder
  hear it beckon
  you to dance
  
  feel it hold you
  take you under
  i'm your god of second chance
  
  and now you claim you are not prepared
  so much to do you cannot be spared
  still your entreaties death will not hear
  
  the graveyard is filled with important men
  who could not be spared but were in the end
  and so i whisper now in your ear
  
  see it rising
  stare and wonder
  hear it beckon
  you to dance
  
  feel it hold you
  take you under
  i'm your god of second chance
  
  domine! domine!
  domine! domine!
  o domine! o domine!
  o domine! o domine!
