The Reaper - Axenstar

From the first breath when a man is born

He’s destined to follow the path from before

The only truth that applies to all life

Without exceptions no one survives

Life as you know it will then fade away

Leading you fast to a final decay

Harsh and relentless the years pass you by

Like seasons are changing you wither and die

Somewhere far away you hear him coming

And you know your time is up

When death comes knocking on your door

All through life’s phases you struggle to find

A purpose, a meaning it all seems entwined

Forever leaving the loved ones behind

A faded memory still in your mind

Somewhere far away you hear him coming

And you know your time is up

When the reaper is calling

Somewhere far away you hear him coming

And you know your time is up

When death comes knocking on your door
