The Reaper

I see the reaper standing above my bed

his cold breath breathing down on me

I am paralyzed in fear,

and my eyes are begging him to leave

He walks over to the door

and points his long finger at me

motioning me to come home with him

I don't want to go but it is my fate

he has swung his sickle--

this time at me

Tonight he shall feast on mine and others souls

another harvest is complete.

Mendy this is a delightfully dark piece. I really like it. Though I suggest that if the reaper comes pointing his finger you should give him the finger back. Never go down without a fight.
