Scythe Denied

Gothic Knights

Still awake I turn to face the window, what do I now see
 Is it just a mist, a cloud, a darting figure
 I close my eyes to sleep
 Yet something is so wrong, the air is choking the life out from me
 The world has now made a cruel left turn, nightmare calling me

 He who has seen him, fear him
 The blade he carries will surely strike this is not haunted imagination
 I am awake, staring at the light
 Soul stealer, has come this night

 Cloaked figure slowly creeps before me, a ghost with eyes blood red
 Points his finger curls for me to follow, a tunnel to Heaven or Hell
 The blade glistens ready to tear flesh, I can hear the bell ringing
 Smiles and screams fall on deaf ears, terror surrounds my soul

 No dancing with the Devil, no climbing a staircase to the clouds
 This is not haunted imagination, I am awake staring at the light

 No don't take me away, I will fight not follow, not fall to your blade
 Please God don't let him take me away, today is not the day
 I want to live my life complete

 The reaper misses now a change opens up I turn and hit the ground
 Sink my fingers deep into the Earth and start to breath aloud
 With a crooked smile he says "there's been a change of plans today"
 Lights and figures form, machines surround me
 Things have turned my way

 No dancing with the Devil, no climbing a staircase to the clouds
 This is not haunted imagination, I am awake staring at the light
