The Reaper Whispers

A lovely night, a lovely night,

Dancing with ghosts under pale twilight

A lovely night, death’s delight,

Hold my hand, we’ll vanish from sight

The reaper whispers, "This is the price"

A deal with the devil, no room for advice

Living with sins, they tattoo my skin,

Pride keeps me falling, again and again

Moonlight slicing through a velvet black,

Graveyard quiet, hear the bones crack

Shadows on the walls, they dance obscene,

Carving my guilt with a blade unseen

Tombstone pillow, lay my head to rest,

Death’s my roommate, always uninvited guest

His scythe hums low, a lullaby grim,

My sins his choir, singing my hymn

Crows laugh harsh in the dead of the trees,

Breath feels colder than the midnight breeze

The mirror cracked, it won't hold my gaze,

Eyes scream louder than my silent days

Each step heavy, dragging chains of pride,

Skeletons rattle, marching at my side

My heart’s a mausoleum, stone and frost,

Each beat reminds me of what I’ve lost

A lovely night, a lovely night,

Dancing with ghosts under pale twilight

A lovely night, death’s delight,

Hold my hand, we’ll vanish from sight

The reaper whispers, "This is the price”

A deal with the devil, no room for advice

Living with sins, they tattoo my skin,

Pride keeps me falling, again and again

Moonlight bleeding through cracks in the sky,

Graveyard whispers, hear the corpses cry

Shadow hands tug at my coat's frayed thread,

It’s a lovely night to stroll with the dead

Steps echo loud, the soil feels cursed,

Tombstones humming, rehearsing their verse

Every breath tastes of rot and regret,

A lovely night, ain’t seen nothin' yet

A lovely night, a lovely night,

Dancing with ghosts under pale twilight.

A lovely night, death’s delight,

Hold my hand, we’ll vanish from sight

The reaper whispers, "This is the price"

A deal with the devil, no room for advice

Living with sins, they tattoo my skin,

Pride keeps me falling, again and again

Crows perched on my shoulders, two grim advisors,

Their eyes sharper than a miser's desires

Fog crawls like snakes through the cemetery gate,

Spells in the air, a concoction of hate

Maggots squirming, they’re my audience now,

Their applause silent, but they’ll take a bow

Life feels distant, my pulse just fled,

What a perfect night to waltz with the dead

Penance a stranger, redemption estranged,

Fingers clutch the rosary, feeling deranged

But the scythe’s edge glints, my eternal guide,

He’s the only one who’s never lied

Grave dirt in my pocket, bones in my shoes,

Grinning skulls whisper, "What have you to lose?"

Trees stretch their fingers, scraping the stars,

This world ain't ours, it’s theirs, it’s ours

A lovely night, a lovely night,

Dancing with ghosts under pale twilight

A lovely night, death’s delight,

Hold my hand, we’ll vanish from sight

The reaper whispers, "This is the price"

A deal with the devil, no room for advice

Living with sins, they tattoo my skin,

Pride keeps me falling, again and again
