Dancing Reapers

Shadows, our shadows
They dance
At twilight
The moonlight
Does shine
O’er
Emerald eyes

When the reapers dance
And the winds have past
You can hear them call
If the reapers dance
It never lasts
And to the shadows
They crawl

Phantoms, like phantoms
Without a sound
A cloak of moonlight
A knife of dark
An’ mask of night


When the reapers dance
And the winds have past
You can hear them call
If the reapers dance
It never lasts
And to the shadows
They call

Do you hear their name?
The reaper’s name
The one nary man has spoke
Oh the reapers dance
They forever dance
To the song’s night sway

So when the reapers dance
And the wind has past
Do you hear their call?
So if the reapers dance
It will never last
And to the shadows
Do call

The reapers dance
And the winds have past
I can hear their lull
So if the reapers dance
May forever last
And to the shadows
Do call
My name
