1. Forever your Keeper
Second son inferior to the first born one,
Dead both are worthless, empty to anyone.
She takes their souls in her cold embrace,
She dances all around us, but none shall see her face.
Collecting the souls of the dead.
Laughing, she guides them to the light.
Her scythe drips blood red.
Some may call her Lady Death,
Others may call her the Reaper,
With her you'll breathe your dying breath,
She'll forever be your Keeper!
(repeat)
Stormy nights await adventurers at sea,
Those she watches over are thrown into the deep.
The sea swallows their bodies, just as she to their souls,
Sending each to their rightful place, as the vultures pick their bones.
Collecting the souls of the dead.
Laughing, she guides them to the light.
Her scythe drips blood red.
Some may call her Lady Death,
Others may call her the Reaper,
With her you'll breathe your dying breath,
She'll forever be your Keeper!
(repeat)
Slowly... you rot!
Bodies... maggots!
2. The Weak
She lies in her bed, face warped with pain,
She dies.
Ravaged by cancer, she wonders why he won't answer.
No you never responded,
Never bothered to reply.
By not answering any of her prayers,
You're proven a futile God.
Why do the good people always have to die?
The harshest of realities.
Whoever created these illusions of hope,
Should be burned at the cross!
Weak are the ones who place their hope in something they cannot touch.
Believe in the deity within yourself, the god within you!
(repeat)
Lost hope, see the end of days!
Christianity, take it to the grave!
Weak are the ones who place their hope in something they cannot touch.
Believe in the deity within yourself, the god within you!
3. The Outsider
Wake!
Wake up the dead!
No recollection of life or death.
My time spent in darkness,
Natural light is what I crave!
I rise to the surface in the light of the moon,
Run away screaming, run away blinded by fear!
No! This cannot be!
No! This can't be me!
I am not of this place,
Scream, those who see my face!
Wake!
To no one calling!
Unaware of creatures crawling.
Pushing aside corpses,
Pushing aside my own kin!
I rise to the surface and search for something more,
Run away screaming, run away blinded by fear!
No! This cannot be!
No! This can't be me!
I am not of this place,
Scream, those who see my face!
Flooded by the moonlight!
I pass the gravestones, I pass the church,
Oblivious embodiment of death.
Oblivious, I am the moonlight.
