[Verse 1]
Let not the sun go down on my wrath
I let it shake the world
Vengeance is the grudge I bear
Flag of reckoning unfurled
You are the architect of your own demise
So smile no more
I am the gatekeeper
And you are mine forevermore
[Verse 2]
Come greet the Reaper
You know the time is nigh
This is the day of reckoning
Your time to die
Brave men spin in fear
At the sound of my voice
Say goodbye to life so dear
You no longer have a choice
[Verse 3]
Burnt black and silent
Rust and blood upon my reaper's blade
I come collect the tolls
Gather up all debts unpaid
I call when you least expect
But when you deserve it most
Behold the timekeeper
The end is getting close
[Verse 4]
Come greet the Reaper
You know the time is nigh
This is the day of reckoning
Your time to die
Brave men spin in fear
At the sound of my voice
Say goodbye to life so dear
You no longer have a choice
[Verse 5]
The dead no longer have a cross to bear
The dead no longer have need to despair
Death has come and set the snare
Death will come when you're unaware

[Verse 6]
The misbegotten have the gall
To think them safe and sound
They try to cheat the Reaper
Scatter, hide, no matter, found
The wheel of life is standing still
For them, it turns no more
Now comes the soul keeper
And you become my whore
[Verse 7]
Come greet the Reaper
You know the time is nigh
This is the day of reckoning
Your time to die
Brave men spin in fear
At the sound of my voice
Say goodbye to life so dear
You no longer have a choice
