The Grim Reaper

There's something strange happening in this town
 you can smell it in the air, it's all around
 It's death himself and he's reaping souls
 He's here to possess you, to place you in his fiery coals

 There's no place to run, no place to hide
 You are about to venture on this long sinister ride
 The death ride you might say
 Yes, the Grim Reaper is here to take you away

 Your not the only one about to enter Satan's den
 There are many others that have also sinned
 This is the night of the unforgotten memory
 this is the night that you will burn eternally

 In the idle darkness, the end is drawing near
 your heart is pounding madly in fear
 As you see the hooded face of this eerie unknown stranger
 you scream in ghostly horror at the sight of this creature

 As you look upon his sinking cold eyes of death
 it takes away your precious breath
 And in your last few moments of recognition
 you discover the savage blade of destruction

 Now you have reached the realms of death
