[Verse 1]
You left some hope instilled in me
That I never should give up on anything
I know this made you proud of me
So this song remains for those who hurt like me

[Pre-Chorus]
The man in black
He rides alone
A final destination unknown
The man in black
He rides alone
He's moving on
Not coming home

[Chorus]
I used to be the fearless one
Living each day like death would never come
I feel his cold breath on my neck
He's watching my steps and telling me that I could be next
I used to be the fearless one
Living each day like death would never come
I feel his cold breath on my neck
He's watching my steps and telling me that I could be next

[Verse 2]
Before I used to take these wings and I'd fly so high
I'd fly so high, I tried
Now I live in regret, never coming down to say goodbye
Oh why can't I?
[Pre-Chorus]
The man in black
He rides alone
A final destination unknown
The man in black
He rides alone
He's moving on
I can't follow

[Chorus]
I used to be the fearless one
Living each day like death would never come
I feel his cold breath on my neck
He's watching my steps and telling me that I could be next
I used to be the fearless one
Living each day like death would never come
I feel his cold breath on my neck
He's watching my steps and telling me that I could be next

[Bridge]
So make way for the man in black
Make way, he's never coming back

[Outro]
I am so lost at sea
Ryan, shine the light for me
I'm sinking, I can't swim
I need you here to pull me in
I am so lost at sea
Ryan, shine your light for me
I'm sinking, I can't swim
I miss you, brother
You will never dim
