Reaper, Take Me

Whispers in the silence, shadows call my name,

The chill of the night air feeds the flickering flame.

Broken heart inside me, it’s a slow-burning hell,

Reaper, take me softly, for I can no longer dwell.

Once we walked together, hand in hand through dreams,

Now I stand abandoned, tearing at the seams.

You promised me forever, but forever flew away,

Left me in the darkness, where I am forced to stay.

Feel this ache, it’s drowning me, I’m lost without your light,

Though I wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone tonight.

Each memory’s a dagger, piercing deep inside,

Oh, Reaper, come to claim me, I’ve got nowhere to hide.

Reaper, take me, take me home,

In a world without my love, I can’t bear to roam.

Shattered dreams behind me, I’ll let the sorrow fade,

Take my soul, oh, Reaper, in the choices that you made.

I pray that she finds happiness, though the pain's a bitter wine,

I don't want revenge; just a peace that's truly mine.

If I could wish her well, from beyond this mortal strife,

The only thing I crave now, is the end of this life.

Every day is like a shadow, bleeding into night,

Longing for the comfort, for the end of this fight.

Burning scars have healed me, yet they haunt me, it’s clear,

Reaper, take me gently, end this suff’ring, my dear.

Feel this ache, it’s drowning me, I’m lost without your light,

Though I wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone tonight.

Each memory’s a dagger, piercing deep inside,

Oh, Reaper, come to claim me, I’ve got nowhere to hide.

Reaper, take me, take me home,

In a world without my love, I can’t bear to roam.

Shattered dreams behind me, I’ll let the sorrow fade,

Take my soul, oh, Reaper, in the choices that you made.

So here I stand, unbroken but yearning for release,

Let the Reaper come now, let my soul find peace.

In the ashes of my heartache, I’ll let my spirit fly,

Reaper, take me softly, here beneath the twilight sky.

So here I stand, unbroken but yearning for release,

Let the Reaper come now, let my soul find peace.

In the ashes of my heartache, I’ll let my spirit fly,

Reaper, take me softly, here beneath the twilight sky.
