[high quality production] [clear vocals] [instrumental intro] [Verse 1] Beneath a poison sky, beneath the weeping hell, The heavens stood silent, as the reaper tolled his bell, Death was the only path, to reap and tear the chain, A gift far too kind, for the sins decayed with pain, No prayer left pale lips, no light to guide the hand, Death was the answer, for the twisted and the damned! [chorus] Oh, Reaper..... Oh, herald of decay! Was the darkest price, worth your soul to pay?! You judged and cursed, you swore you'd never bend! Yet you are now the plague, you promised you would end! [verse 2] The quest for vengeance, ate and melted through the skin, Each step forth was a battle, every breath pained and thin, Upon the summit of sin, this newborn god fell, His dream of freedom stolen, by the god-fathers spell The wound would never heal, the rust would eat and grow, Until it's vile poison, would bring the reaper down low! [chorus] Oh, Reaper..... Oh, herald of decay! Was the darkest price, worth your soul to pay?! You judged and cursed, you swore you'd never bend! Yet you are now the plague, you promised you would end! [sad bridge] A warm promise filled with rot, that eternal life it shall bestow, "Lay down your weight of suffering, and you will never fear it so," The reaper noticed the poison, but this time his scythe didn't reap... Perhaps it was okay to kneel.... And let his old defiance sleep.... [chorus] [stomping only] [female choir] Oh, Reaper..... Oh, herald of decay! Was the darkest price, worth your soul to pay?! You judged and cursed, you swore you'd never bend! Yet you are now the plague, you promised you would end! [chorus] Oh, Reaper..... Oh, herald of decay! Was the darkest price, worth your soul to pay?! You judged and cursed, you swore you'd never bend! Yet you are now the plague, you promised you would end! [instrumental] One more soul... Lost to the rot.... [end]
