Waiting (Reaper)

Lyrics

I knew a man his name was Sam
I watched him die a horrible death
And then I took him by the hand
I knew a girl her name was Jenn
I gladly watched her suffrage
That’s one bitch nobody will miss
I took them both to the other side
Him to heaven and her to hell

The grim reaper he waits and waits
To take the souls of you all
The dark creeper he contemplates
The dark deaths of you all

I met a boy they called him Jim
I sat and watched as he passed
Even I cried he was just ten
I had to take a little girl
At four months old he banged her head
On the bed, for she was deaf
I took that man to the other side
Watched Cerberus eat him still alive

Yeah I know what it’s like
To live your life in constant fear
The only sure thing in life is death

See the hounds of hell, Rip away the flesh
Smell the stench, Of the living dead

Death Awaits you, No matter who you are
Where you go, What you do

He’s coming for you, Scythe in hand
He’s calling your name, Swinging his blade
He’s casting his shadow, Of death upon you

See the gates of Heaven, Close in your face
They’re Just waiting to say, You big disgrace

Death Awaits you, No matter who you are
Where you go, What you do

He’s coming for you, Scythe in hand
He’s calling your name, Swinging his blade
He’s casting his shadow, Of death upon you

Interpretation

This song is about the Grim Reaper a.k.a. Death. He feels pain, sorrow, hate, love,
and everything else just like every other being does. This is the story of sorrowful death.

Inspiration

This is actually two songs that fit together.
The first song was Waiting, and the second Reaper.
They were so closely related and the music sounded good together so I made them into one song.
This is now kind of my theme song.
