I'm back out and on my way

Out in the town to seize the day

The bright blue skies, the shade and blaze

The opulent splendor, and the happy craze

I spin around the columns tall

To the street music I dance along

I have to be some place, and I'm headed there

Through a huge rotunda, I see a square

A sea of people everywhere

They cheer and party unaware

That a reaper towers above them all

Hе's a harvester of souls

Nobody sees him approach

And pluck out that mortal

He takеs whoever's next

Drinks the soul, swallows it down a portal

Am I the only one who sees him

Snatch someone again?

He rips the bones and flesh apart

And casts a shower of remains

But the cheering crowd keeps dancing

Under a rain of blood

Closer and yet closer

Drowning in a human sea

Pushing against the current

Reaper, stay away from me

They drink away their sorrows

And love like no today

There might be no tomorrow

And no future anyway

I think he can see

Every move, every stride that I take

He'll come after me

Hunt me down through every mistake that I make

I have to meet whoever sent me

Whatever brought me here

I'm on a path, I'm granted entry

I have to persevere

Closer and yet closer

Drowning in a human sea

Pushing against the current

Reaper, stay away from me

High Goddess

Guide me to the light

As I'm swept away

In the high tide

High Goddess

Shield me from his claws

Lead me out of here

To where my future dawns

I can't face him now, I can't fight him alone

If I'm in his reach he'll peel my flesh and crush my bones

Closer and yet closer

Drowning in a human sea

Pushing against the current

Reaper, stay away from me

Further and yet further

Down a wide street to my right

Crowd-swept like a surfer

I don't want to look behind

Still, no-one

Can see him come

And take those souls

Now, that he

Had seen me flee

He will be close

Still, no-one

Can see him come

And take those souls

Now, that he

Had seen me flee

He will be close
