The Reaper is around again
To take beloved ones away in pain
It feels like they slipped away
But sadly they were taken away
Together by the Agent who brings forth agony
Aeons of years ago he lost his sanctity
So he was cast down to reside with us
And now he bullies and torments us
Giving us troubles and fear
As the Final Day draws near, he keeps changing gears
Feeding us with more tears
But that day of reckoning awaits him
When even droplets of mercy, favor and pardon shall not be bestowed on him
And all our tears and pain will be wiped and given back to him
It is true that the Reaper is invisible
But to me, he is visible
I feel powerless to intervene
Because I am far behind the scene
As I shed my tears and move on without them, I will forever keen.
