A Reaper's Lament

[Verse] Silent night cold and stark I walk alone through the dark Questions rising in my mind Why must I reap what I find [Verse 2] Every soul I take away Brings no light to my day Endless cycle spinning round Where is peace to be found [Chorus] Oh the reaper's song I sing Of the sorrow that I bring Heavy is this scythe I hold In my heart I feel so cold [Verse 3] Shadowed paths I tread alone Worlds of pain I've always known But now I see the shadows clear Is there more for me that's near [Bridge] Could there be a different fate Not just portents at the gate Find a love or find a friend Could my story ever end [Chorus] Oh the reaper's song I sing Of the sorrow that I bring Heavy is this scythe I hold In my heart I feel so cold
