I wanted you alive Now I wield the scythe Harvesting the mortals The dawn of day so bright Shines light upon the awful Fading in the wake of guilt Hope dies slowly Oh my darling I'm so sorry I'll hold your soul in safest keeping Now I leave you ever sleeping Peacefully Why oh why is it me? Escorting the one I was desperate to free Will I be forgiven? Can I be forgiven? No I feel the weight of silence in my heart Your cold and lifeless skin Brushes up against my wretched bones Surrendering your human form An angel sent to take you home The only love I've ever known Oh my darling I'm so sorry I'll hold your soul in safest keeping Now I leave you ever sleeping Peacefully So rise my dear into the skies I'll hold your hand now once again A portal to the other side I'll hold your hand until the end I'm so sorry Relieve you of this painful life Escort you to the end of time As I descend upon the ever sleeping Peacefully But there's no peace for me At the mercy of a fate all consuming I am death so grim But there's no peace for me 'Til I tear off the head of the one who brought this to be
I wanted you alive
Now I wield the scythe
Harvesting the mortals
The dawn of day so bright
Shines light upon the awful
Fading in the wake of guilt
Hope dies slowly
Oh my darling I'm so sorry
I'll hold your soul in safest keeping
Now I leave you ever sleeping
Peacefully
Why oh why is it me?
Escorting the one I was desperate to free
Will I be forgiven?
Can I be forgiven?
No
I feel the weight of silence in my heart
Your cold and lifeless skin
Brushes up against my wretched bones
Surrendering your human form
An angel sent to take you home
The only love I've ever known
Oh my darling I'm so sorry
I'll hold your soul in safest keeping
Now I leave you ever sleeping
Peacefully
So rise my dear into the skies
I'll hold your hand now once again
A portal to the other side
I'll hold your hand until the end
I'm so sorry
Relieve you of this painful life
Escort you to the end of time
As I descend upon the ever sleeping
Peacefully
But there's no peace for me
At the mercy of a fate all consuming
I am death so grim
But there's no peace for me
'Til I tear off the head of the one who brought this to be
