The Reaper

This black-dressed man was following you
You know him from your dreams
He is the reaper, calling for you
your time is over it seems
The scythe in his old hand
glittering in the moonlight
He's calling your name
and takes you by the hand
Can you hear him- as you start your journey
Can you hear him- your mind is turning black
Can you hear him- he's the voice in your head
Can you hear him- he helps you to forget
Your way through the neverlands is long and hard
full of desire to come to an end
make sure the reaper will take you with him
life now is over, take your last breath
you reached the gates, now all life has an end
Nothing left to lose in this game
the time is right to fulfill your fate
your candle of life has burned down
you walk along the road of damnation
soon all miracles will make sense to you
you pass the gates of wisdom
but now it is too late
staring into the moonlight
can't get you out of this misery
Can you hear him- as you start your journey
Can you hear him- your mind is turning black
Can you hear him- he's the voice in your head
Can you hear him- he helps you to forget
