Lyrics

The Reaper

[Verse 1]

Welcome to the evil's nightmare

See the demons dancing round

Waiting for the Reaper's rising

Looking out for Satan's crowd

[Pre-Chorus]

The grave is open, the diggers smile

Please welcome the dead

[Chorus]

Look behind you; he stands behind you

The Reaper shall return

Look reside you; walks beside you

The Reaper has returned

[Verse 2]

Tonight The Reaper's party is open

Get entrance, get the trance

Forget about the words of warning

Forget about the smell of death

[Pre-Chorus]

The grave is open, the diggers smile

Please welcome the dead

[Chorus]

Look behind you; he stands behind you

The Reaper shall return

Look reside you; walks beside you

The Reaper has returned

[Solo]

[Verse 3]

The raft of death now leaves the landing

Waters wipe out space and time

Black man gives a skinless smile

Cold greetings reach your mind
