Dance With the Reaper

Arrows of torment, a fading torrent
Unleashing hell from bitter resentment;
Dance beneath moonlight and stars tonight
Seek within sky thine everlasting fright;
Fare thee well, fare thee well
Damnations foretell;
Fare thee well, fare thee well
As we dance with the reaper into hell

Awaken now bathed in glorified grace
Fragile hopes disappear with past disgrace

"Follow me
Through gilded gates
Through eternity;
Imminent fates;
Approach the free
Accusing ye
So selfishly"

Morrow arriving and soulless surviving
Their sins displayed like trophies so vain;
Honored lay slain under shattering day
Broken voices pray facing their pain

"Fare thee well, fare thee well
None escape this hell;
Sorrow lies;
Daylight hides;
For what price do we die?"

Arrows of torment, a fading torrent
Unleashing hell from bitter resentment;
Dance beneath moonlight and stars tonight
Seek within sky thine everlasting fright;
Fare thee well, fare thee well
Damnations foretell;
Fare thee well, fare thee well
As we dance with the reaper into hell

Follow descent yonder harrowing fields
Dispersing innocence, all wounds shall heal

"Dance with me
Through mirrored halls
Through calamity;
Damnation calls;
Proclaim decree
Of bloody key
So selflessly"

Morrow arriving and soulless surviving
Their sins transpire on grand pyres;
Hopeless reprise the imminent demise;
Our swaying steps die beneath truth's sweet lie

"Fare thee well, fare thee well
None escape this hell;
Now we prance
'Top piercing lance;
For what price do we dance?"

"Swing with your sins, oh dearest of fears;
Send soulful goodbyes with each of your tears
These prayers so desperate, nobody can hear;
Your fragile, lost soul my chants now tear"

In hell we sway
'Tis his domain;
Painlessly play
This faulty game
And dance beneath stars tonight
Each a soul trapped deep within fright;
Curse the moon, its falsified light;

"Danced, have we now?
To hell you are bound;
My melodious sound
Rings damnations unfound

"Fare thee well, fare thee well dearest mortal who fell dancing to hell, each step now quelled. Fare thee well, fare thee well dearest fragment which tells stories forgotten of lives now begotten... "

Arrows of torment, a fading torrent
Unleashing hell from bitter resentment;
Dance beneath moonlight and stars tonight
Seek within sky thine everlasting fright;
Fare thee well, fare thee well
Damnations foretell;
Fare thee well, fare thee well
As we dance with the reaper into hell

"Fare thee well, fare thee well
Damnations foretell;
Fare thee well, fare thee well
For you've danced with the reaper into hell"
