Reaper's Lullaby

Sinner in life, and redeemed just before death
Currents of time warn when they are close
So the dying can feel what is next.
Judgement has come along with his blade
Creeping the Reaper will rise
Whipping in flames smashing my head
Bringing shadows of those I have killed.
Tried to explain but I burn in despair
Now he awaits to sentence me and torture me in hell.
Then I realize I must subjugate
Facing my acts and past crimes
I never knew what true fear was about
Till I felt I was next in the trial.
With each passing second I’m further convinced
Nothing is granted all debts must be paid.
Hey you spirits of the night
Is the tune afar the Reaper’s lullaby?
Hey you if I close my eyes
Will I wake to repair what I’ve been?
Tried to explain but I burn in despair
Now he awaits to sentence me and torture me in hell.
With each passing second I’m further convinced
Nothing is granted all debts must be paid.
