Shadow of the Reaper Songtext
von Six Feet Under

The shadow of the reaper, the shadow of the dead
Entombs the lifeless
The darkest black is cast
The shadow of the reaper, will you take its hand
The shadow of the reaper, the grave now calls to you

In the cemetary
You have been left unburied
The vultures pick at your eyes

The cold grasp, a blood hand
The skeleton, it cracks
And its twitching
Inside of your body


The brain retreats
The heart beats no longer
In denial
Life no longer there

To comfort
To invigorate
To betray you
The rotten now await you

Meet the Devil′s keeper
In the shadow of the reaper
The rotten now await you
To invade you

The shadow of the reaper, the shadow of the dead
Entombs the lifeless
The darkest black is cast
The shadow of the reaper, will you take it hand
The shadow of the reaper, the grave now calls to you


In the cemetary
You have been left unburied
The vultures pick at your eyes
