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
