Scythe Denied

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
