Lyrics
(Intro) Now you lay down to sleep As he comes for your soul to keep And if you die before you wake Your soul the Reaper he will take For evil in this life you’ve done Now it’s time for him to have some fun Hear the pounding of the drums Playing softly as he comes Reaching for the fading light You’ll seek forgiveness from the night As winter bites with bitter cold Releasing death from its hold Blood slows through the veins No more pleasure, only shouting pains As you hear the pounding of the drums The Reaper comes As your walking naked and alone Through familiar places once known Memories flicker, fade and die With a vile kiss and faint goodbye Breath escapes slowly now No answers why, only questions how As you hear the pounding of the drums The Reaper comes Rusted shackles you now wear Heavy with the guilt you bear The shame and fear you bore Placed upon you forevermore As time stops and dies No tears shed, only your darkened heart cries As you hear the pounding of the drums The Reaper comes (Break) Fear the Reaper… Fear the Reaper Fear the Reaper when he comes When no good deed you have done Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run Now it’s time for him to have some fun (Coda) As you lay down to sleep The Reaper comes for your soul to keep You died before you did wake And your soul the Reaper did take Hear the pounding of the drums play As he softly floats away
