The Reaper

I've been here since the beginning, I was there when Jesus died. I've been to every war on Earth, I was there with Bonnie and Clyde. I sweep in with tornadoes, I've seen every heart attack. I sympathize with none, And I'm right behind your back. I walk a cold and vicious road, Stepped on every family plot. I'll be patient till the end, And take everything you've got. I've witnessed every murder, And saw the Roman Empire fall. They all call me the Reaper, And in time I'll see you all.
