The Reaperssessor

With each fading beat I see clearer 
Every drop that falls speaks 
Innocent hearts shattered like mirrors 
Tonight redemption you will seek  

Tears of lovers past scream to be heard 
Broken souls held in sorrow's purgatory 
Your true intentions no longer blurred 
A complete recompense now mandatory 

Your terrified face conjures no sympathy 
You've been playing with gas and I hold the flint 
Long before it was in my hand your heart atrophied 
It's said "hell hath no fury..." well you should've read the fine print
