The Reaper

There is no rest for me to take
Since I am your humble servant
There is so much work for me to make
And give respite is what I can't.

On my list, growing on and on
A name appears then fades away
Until my duty here is finally done
Like the hunter I'm on my prey.

Written by the ones above us
Destinies, engraved carefully
Forever drawn, none shall discuss
The path is set, just come with me.

My world you can't see... forever will be
Its gates open wide, for everyone here
My world you can't touch is setting you free
Come inside, now the path is clear.

I am no friend, I am no enemy
I do not wear any mask
Call me the reaper, call me bitter death
I'm here to fulfill my task.

One day I liberate... the other I take
Forever surrounding, prowling
Always around, asleep or awake
For the ultimate sign I'm waiting.

On my list, growing on and on
A name appears then fades away
Until my duty here is finally done
Like the hunter I'm on my prey

Many men challenged me in duels
Astray souls... Ignoring their own fates
Wasting time trying to change the rules
I always win when death awaits.

My world you can't see... forever will be
Its gates open wide, for everyone here
My world you can't touch is setting you free
Come inside... the path is clear
My world you can't see... forever will be
Its gates open wide, for everyone here
My world you can't touch is setting you freeCome inside, now the path is clear.
