He relishes in the dark And lives among the dead His presence is enough to cause the living dread The assassinator of souls And demise of men He will strike, but you'll never know when The fear of many yet the prayer of some Known as the grim reaper He'll come back again The graveyard is his home The dead are his friends But today he stands among the silence of the dead And wonders what its like to meet an end With that thought in mind He lights up his cigarette Exhales the noxious smoke And inhales the toxins Whats fatal to the mortals Is abortive on him His heart is dark and existence is grim And that burning cigarette is all of what he has So he finds pleasure in its poison And hopes to be its prey Although he's aware He'll never see that day But that glowing cigarette keeps his demons away...

The grim reaper's friend
He relishes in the dark And lives among the dead His presence is enough to cause the living dread The assassinator of souls And demise of men He will strike, but you'll never know when The fear of many yet the prayer of some Known as the grim reaper He'll come back again The graveyard is his home The dead are his friends But today he stands among the silence of the dead And wonders what its like to meet an end With that thought in mind He lights up his cigarette Exhales the noxious smoke And inhales the toxins Whats fatal to the mortals Is abortive on him His heart is dark and existence is grim And that burning cigarette is all of what he has So he finds pleasure in its poison And hopes to be its prey Although he's aware He'll never see that day But that glowing cigarette keeps his demons away...
