The Grim, Reaper Man

He walks through the cold and dreary, darkened night carrying his curved, silver, bloody sickle in his evil, crooked hand Beware all who wander about this reaper will be your biggest foe, your biggest fright He loves to hear you scream You'll hear the sizzle of your flesh peeling your hide, draining your blood, taking your life as he slashes through your skin with his sharp, curved sickle and red, hot knife His blood red smile makes skin crawl and weep from outside to within as he eagerly mixes your blood with rich, purple mulberry wine His powers reach far beyond sun, moon and stars all across the world he travels savagely stalking and hunting in the night No matter where you are… he’ll find you in the dark, slicing with his knife Be warned thou who seek refuge from the grim, reaper man his ancient terrors fill the dark, eerie nights Don’t go wandering alone; he’ll catch you if he can here, now and everywhere, riding upon the winds of time Blackened and red flamed powers he easily possesses at hand It’s through your blood he feeds his evil, dark mind He’ll take down any woman, child or man when he goes out stalking, walking throughout the cold, eerie night An evil, dark phantom of death, this reaper man feeding his soul - his breath seeking the path of his darkened sins He’ll feed on any lost soul, till there’s no one left This demon of the night will scourge the earth searching just for you You can’t run, you can’t hide, and nothing can change your fate to keep you safe from his hungry hands once he opens his hell-fired gate He knows all the angles, he holds all the keys as he hunts through the night in this world once again Beware, I warn... for it’s YOU, that he sees as he goes walking, stalking throughout the cold, dark, eerie night
