She comes riding the brightest shadows
The thrice raps on your door bring her
She is here to take a soul for God
Don't Run, Don't Hide, Don't Fear
The Reaper
She wanders calmly throughout the night
She is a Holy messenger of God's Will
Bringing souls to eternal judgment
Upon the Scales of Archangel Michael
Don't Run, Don't Hide, Don't Fear
The Reaper
She calls your name awaiting your arrival
Her Scythe in right your soul in left
She lifts you toward the moonlit sky
Her twelve wings flap into the Sea of Heaven
Don't Run, Don't Hide, Don't Fear
The Reaper
