Reaper Called Death
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There is a reaper
He is called Death
He sharpens his knife
So take your last breath
Cutting much better
Soon he will cut
Each one around you
Down will be shut
What today is still green
And fresh stands
Tomorrow the noble
Is blown like the sand
The beautiful hyacinth
The heavenly key
Cut down the flowers
You die, you and me
Many hundred thousands
He cuts them and shows
What falls under the sickle
The lily and the rose
He will extinguish
The solid and the fickle
Your imperial crown
Falls under his sickle
Your money and power
Oh they won't protect you
He cuts down the flowers
His wind blew
Defiance of Death
I do not fear you!
Come here and cut, I don't give a screw!
I shall be transported
Then I will wait
In the heavenly garden
No fear for my fate
