Burning Darkness

The Grim Reaper

Burning Darkness


I am your destiny 
and I can never fail 
I am the grim reaper 

I've come to pass your life 
onto the other side 
There's no-one who can pass my grasp 

A heart so cold of frost 
where you shall all be lost 
a purgatory awaits 

So victims, start to cry 
you only make me laugh 
a journey through the ablaze 

Come take my life-eaten hand 
and we'll go the land 
where time stands still 
My work won't be done 
until all life has gone 
to descend to the fires of hell 

A black robe, the reaper, a hood and a skeleton face 
Red eyes that burns in the dark 
Father of fear, and of death and of mercy 
will throw you out of this life 
The last thing you'll see will be the life you lived 
all from the day you were born 
But now it's time to leave it all behind 
You've already lived too long 

You feel a scent of rose, a cold chill in the air 
And then I'm by your side 
Now you belong to me and I will make you see 
your whole life, you've been living in a lie 

There's no such thing as life 
only born to die 
Sweet death is all there is 
Prepare to leave your life 
and walk here by my side 
I'll show you heaven and hell 

Passing through thorn gardens, watching the angels fly 
now we've reached the end 
My work won't be done 
until all life has gone 
to transcend to the fires of hell 

A black robe, the reaper, a hood and a skeleton face 
Red eyes that burns in the dark 
Father of fear, and of death and of mercy 
will throw you out of this life 
With schyte in hand he will bless all alive with death 
Wounds unable to heal 
Skeleton priest has arrived to your threshold 
Visiting old souls to steal 

A black robe, a reaper 
Red eyes that burns in the dark 
Father of fear, and of death and of mercy 
will throw you out of this life
