The Reaper Cries Too

And there lay his body,

And there lay his body, Peaceful

And there lay his body, Peaceful Sleeping

And there lay his body, Peaceful Sleeping In a pristine coffin,

And there lay his body, Peaceful Sleeping In a pristine coffin, Ready for the funeral service

The room is full of loved ones,

The room is full of loved ones, The people who gave him life

The room is full of loved ones, The people who gave him life They gather

The room is full of loved ones, The people who gave him life They gather waiting for any more guests,

Unaware that the most important one is already here

Unaware that the most important one is already here The grim reaper is here with his scythe

Unaware that the most important one is already here The grim reaper is here with his scythe Ready to bring this man's soul

Unaware that the most important one is already here The grim reaper is here with his scythe Ready to bring this man's soul to the next life

But as he looks at the man

But as he looks at the man He weeps

He cries, for the reaper never wanted this job

He cries, for the reaper never wanted this job He never wanted to be

He cries, for the reaper never wanted this job He never wanted to be In between life and death

He never wanted to be the one to guide tortured souls,

He never wanted to be the one to guide tortured souls, to see their pain

He never wanted to be the one to guide tortured souls, to see their pain and then have to send them

He never wanted to be the one to guide tortured souls, to see their pain and then have to send them to heaven or hell

The reaper cries too

The reaper cries too He cries for the souls who never got to finish their life

The reaper cries too He cries for the souls who never got to finish their life He cries for the mothers, fathers, children, uncles, sisters

The reaper cries too He cries for the souls who never got to finish their life He cries for the mothers, fathers, children, uncles, sisters He cries for what they left behind

For fate is cruel

For fate is cruel And no one decides

For fate is cruel And no one decides when their time stops

The reaper cries,

the rivers and rain fill with sorrow The reaper cries,

The reaper cries

The reaper cries And the sea feels his pain

But when people think of him,

But when people think of him, They blame him for taking their loved ones

But when people think of him, They blame him for taking their loved ones They cry and mourn

Unaware that

Unaware that The reaper cries too
