They hide in the shadows All among us They have no obedience, Or friends, or trust They kill behind us They drag them away They'll never stop Whatever you say They are the Reapers That's their name, They're coming for you And you're to blame You can't escape them, It's never been done, It's only scary Not a bit of fun Tonight you're lying in your bed Dreaming, whispering, then comes dread, You slip into darkness, and in a slumber, Then you hear nothing, not even a thunder You are dreaming, But it's so real What did you hear? You see something hidden, something concealed You walk ever closer, Until you find A tall black cloak, And someone inside You look into the face, It's pale and scarred It frightens you, oh yes, Then your bones feel jarred You know this fear, You know what it means, You know what it is, It's a horrid thing It's a Reaper, Lurking right their, The oxygen freezes, Cold is the air All life ceases The world stops, You run away Like a bandit from the cops It's catching you now Closer, closer. . . Will you escape? He runs you over, like a bulldozer You're on the grass It has a sickle and knife Will you make it? Or is this the end of life? You feel a sharp pain, And then a dark end, You see a light Around the bend The lights glows It welcomes you It draws you in, And your life is new You hear a steady sound, Thump thump It sounds like a heart Bump bump The heart stops ticking, Your life is done, That heart was yours, Chances of survival are none. You have no survival, No revival, No retrieval, It's inconceivable Unbelievable It's inevitable, Incredible, Inedible, No variety, No society, No satisfaction, No good action, No good deed, You can't plant a seed To indeed Create a better life Because there none In your future Then you wake up To the morning light, Fresh breaths of air, For life, you fight It was all just a dream Very nightmarish And now you cherish Because you haven't perished You are alive and well, You are glad You aren't dead You're a happy lad. |
