Let not the sun go down on my wrath

I let it shake the world

Vengeance is the grudge I bear

Flag of reckoning unfurled

You are the architect

Of your own demise

So smile no more

I am the gatekeeper,

And you are mine for evermore



[Chorus]

You know the time is nigh

This is the day of reckoning,

Your time to die

Brave men they spin in fear

At the sound of my voice

Say goodbye to life so dear

You no longer have a choice



Burnt black and silent,

Rust and blood

Upon my reaper's blade

Gather up all the debts unpaid

I call when you least expect

But when you deserve it the most

Behold the timekeeper

The end is getting close



[Chorus]



The dead no longer have

A cross to bear

The dead no longer have

Need to despair

And set the snare

When you are unaware



The misbegotten have the gall

To think them safe and sound

They try to cheat the reaper

Scatter, hide, no matter, found

The wheel of life is standing still

For them it turns no more



[Chorus]
