Eternal Reaping

Rust on the scythe

Black on my lungs

Boot prints in grave dust

Calling your name with my tongue

I walked past your candles

Watched every one drown

You prayed for an answer

I just wrote you down

Grimm reapers

Circle in the ember glow

Drag me through the years I’ll never know

There’s no heaven

There’s no breath

Only you and me

Eternal death

Grimm reapers

Carving through my final doubt

Every heartbeat

Something you can cut out

There’s no morning

Only rest

Only you and me

Eternal death

Faces on the headstones

Look like mine

Teeth in a quiet grin

Chewing up time

You bargain in whispers

I bargain in ash

You measure in candles

I measure in cracks

Grimm reapers

Circle in the ember glow

Drag me through the years I’ll never know

There’s no heaven

There’s no breath

Only you and me

Eternal death

Grimm reapers

Carving through my final doubt

Every heartbeat

Something you can cut out

There’s no morning

Only rest

Only you and me

Eternal death

Take my fear

Take my fight

Take my name

Take my light

If every road

Still ends in your hand

Why run at all

Just cut where I stand (hey!)

Grimm reapers

Circle in the ember glow

Drag me through the years I’ll never know

There’s no heaven

There’s no breath

Only you and me

Eternal death

Grimm reapers

Carving through my final doubt

Every heartbeat

Something you can cut out

There’s no morning

Only rest

Only you and me

Eternal death
