The Reaper

In a dark corner I see
Red eyes lay on me
The figure in black came for me
I was a dreamer
Of a shiny blue sky
No more hope inside of me
They told lies so estranged
They told me we could be wrong, but I would be forgiven

The reaper
Came to take my life
Came to kill my dreams
I can no longer scream
Silence echoes, now I go

The reaper
Will see in the end
The reaper looks so cold
Is no use shouting
Those eyes in the dark will show
The reaper

Here comes again
Memories of different times
I was children when I started dreaming
And now old man, I see all my sins and mistakes
The fire come from the darkness
Very bright, the floor, now it's opening

The reaper
Will see in the end
The reaper looks so cold
Is no use shouting
Those eyes in the dark will show
The reaper
I still have hope
The light is shining now I go
I can’t fight this last round
I beg for mercy
I beg for the final blow
