Reaper's Hand

Caw... caw... shadows dance in the fading light

Night's whispering, a breath in the blackened sky

Silent wings glide through the gloom, hear the hollow cry

A cold hand reaches through the dusk, no place to hide

Empty eyes in the darkness stare, a fate so sealed

Death's quiet whisper, the reaper’s grip, a soul revealed

Timeless shadows call your name, no farewell,

In the darkness, where spirits dwell

The reaper’s hand is coming, don’t fight the night,

Soul to take, in the fading glow, out of sight

Caw-caw echoes, calling you home, no more strife,

Death’s doorstep waits, the end of life

Fading breath, a final step, slipping away

Echoes of a silent goodbye, never to stay

Grasped by shadows, no escape, your time has come

Feathered messengers wail as the end has begun

Time dissolves as darkness falls, your journey's close,

In the silent hush, the cold repose

The reaper’s hand is coming, don’t fight the night,

Soul to take, in the fading glow, out of sight

Caw-caw echoes, calling you home, no more strife,

Death’s doorstep waits, the end of life

Fear the winged messenger in the shadow's gloom

In the silent flight, the eternal doom

No escape, no plea, just the final breath,

The reaper claims all, even death
