Shadow of the Reaper Lyrics

There is a hunter on the prowl tonight
He's a harbinger of death sent from the afterlife
Black i the mantle that adorns his frame
Dark is the realm from which he came

It's time to close your eyes and let your spirit go
Free from the mortal chains of misery and woe
It's time to bid farewell to everything you know
Into the shadow of the reaper we must go

It doesn't matter where your run and hide
He will hunt you down my friend when it's your time to die
We're all awaiting our own judgement day
Come take our wicked souls away

It's time to close your eyes and let your spirit go
Free from the mortal chains of misery and woe
It's time to bid farewell to everything you know
Into the shadow of the reaper we must go

As you approach the gates a sign appears
And it reads abandon hope all ye who enter here
So take his hand and brave the great unknown
You've got to reap what you have sown
