[Verse 1]
She pulled the Death card and she went pale
Thought it meant a funeral, thought it meant fail
I said darlin', breathe, now set it down
That card's just the old year leavin' town
[Verse 2]
It's the snake sheddin' skin, it's the winter's goodbye
It's the sunset makin' room for a brand new sky
It's the chapter closin' on what held you back
It's the train pullin' out on a better track
[Chorus]
The Death card ain't the end, my friend
It's just the place where the new begins
Call Paul Hesch, I'll read it right
Seven-seven-five, nine-eight-oh, seven-five-seven-five tonight
Mister Hesch dot com, come on in
The Death card ain't the end
[Verse 3]
Folks get scared of the Tower and the Ten of Swords
The Devil and the Moon and the darker chords
But every card's got a lesson to give
Every one's a teacher on how to live
[Chorus]
The Death card ain't the end, my friend
It's just the place where the new begins
Call Paul Hesch, I'll read it right
Seven-seven-five, nine-eight-oh, seven-five-seven-five tonight
Mister Hesch dot com, come on in
The Death card ain't the end
[Verse 4]
I've seen widows smile and I've seen men heal
Seen hearts made whole that forgot how to feel
When they finally let the old thing go
And let the new seeds start to grow
[Verse 5]
So if you're scared of what the cards might say
Let me walk you through it the gentle way
There ain't no doom in this deck of mine
Just the turnin' seasons and the grace of time
[Chorus]
The Death card ain't the end, my friend
It's just the place where the new begins
Call Paul Hesch, I'll read it right
Seven-seven-five, nine-eight-oh, seven-five-seven-five tonight
Mister Hesch dot com, come on in
The Death card ain't the end
