The Grim Reaper’s Tears

In the still of night He walks alone A figure in black His presence unknown He feels their anguish Their every tear But he's the cause of their deepest...Fear Death walks this earth His burden so great The weight of sorrow The toll of fate He sees their pain It tears him apart But...he's the bringer of their shattered heart In endless plains Where shadows softly sweep Death treads alone In his heart a silent plea He yearns to hold the souls he claims in their eternal sleep My final breath fills my lungs And i see it all so clear And it's all full of beauty This definitive time Oh all the pain in my heart and my soul has shattered You let my hand go As your eyes closed forever Their cries echoes in the eternal night Their mournful songs A haunting plight He longs to comfort to wipe their tears away But he's the reason for their darkest fears So he holds them near beneath his wings Where shadows tear With love so deep He guides their pain To his boat through the endless night In the gentle rain Oh all the pain in my heart and my soul has shattered You let my hand go As your eyes closed forever He's the silent witness to their despair their broken dreams their unanswered prayer His own agony In the still of night He walks alone A figure in black His presence unknown He feels their anguish Their every tear But he's the cause of their deepest...Fear
