The window of your bedroom wall Protects you from the cold Yet the image on the outside Quickly makes you old The final whisp, your dying breath Brings me close to you And when I'm there to close your neck Your days on earth are through
I am the reaper Solemn and grim I relieve pain Let the end begin
The flowers in the darkened room Feel the mourners' tears Cries of anguish in the night Add to the fear Thunder, rain and distant screams All are here today The living souls dress in black And pray for your remains
I am the reaper Solemn and grim I relieve pain Let the end begin
Eternal rest, eternal peace The only thing you know Torment that once burned in you Is now cold as your stone I can feel another heart Calling out to me Another life tired of pain And screaming: Put me to sleep
Please, Mr. Reaper Solemn and grim Release my pain And let the end begin
