Reaper’s Path

Boots on bone-white sand

Ash in every tread I take

Names carved on my rusted scythe

Each one a promise I never break

You pray for a way around me

But every road bleeds back to my feet

Walk the reaper’s path with me

Step by step into the teeth

You can run

You can plead

But you still march next to me

On the reaper’s path you scream

Torn from hope

Dragged from your sleep

Every shadow that you see

Is another you that couldn’t leave (couldn’t leave)

Crow’s song on a crooked stake

Wind tastes like old regret

I don’t choose

I only take

One more soul into my debt

[Halftime

Drums slam open]

You bite the dust

You choke on rust

You curse my name

But you still come

Line up

Line up

All flesh

Same fate

I hold the door

You cross the gate (hey!)

Walk the reaper’s path with me

Step by step into the teeth

You can run

You can plead

But you still march next to me

On the reaper’s path you scream

Torn from hope

Dragged from your sleep

Every shadow that you see

Is another you that couldn’t leave
