As the reaper comes to call
Beckoning me to hear his voice
His presence makes me feel so small
knowing he has made me his choice
He stands there just out of reach
A reminder that the end is near
his voice calls to me just a screech
filling me with doubt and fear
He longs for me to join him now
"come to me", his wispers say
"I will ease your pain and show you how"
"To live again another day"
I gaze into his shadowed form
like a mirror it reflects my life
My eyes look darkened my body worn
my thoughts filled with pain and strife
with outstretched arms he welcomes me
"its easier than you think my friend"
"Just follow me and you will see"
"your life does not have to end"
I take his hand and with him I fly
through oblivion and the stars above
the past, the future, all pass me by
As I surrender to his calming love
what do I do, where do I go
I ask him with a feeble voice
he answers "those things I can not show"
they must be yours, you make a choice
Acceptence is the first great step
to realize that I am always here
Everyones lives are watched and kept
untill the day that death is near
He pulls me close and down we go
back to the place we started from
he wispers to me "now you know"
for you someday I will come
He stands aside just out of reach
reminding me the end is near
when will you come I beseach
but his answer I will never hear
As the reaper comes to call
each of us will hear his voice
what we do when upon us he falls
is up to us, it is our choice
