Verse 1:
In the race for riches, as death's cold breath draws near,
Collecting treasures, drowning in a sea of fear.
No joy, no solace, no love that's true and pure,
Awaiting the reaper, seeking an end, for sure.
Chorus:
Running from death, chasing hollow dreams,
In a world of shadows, where nothing gleams.
No joys to embrace, no comforts to find,
Awaiting the reaper, leaving it all behind.
Verse 2:
In the pursuit of Mammon, they all flee,
Gathering possessions, but finding no glee.
In this joyless realm, dеvoid of tender love,
Awaiting thе reaper, yearning for skies above.
Bridge:
A cemetery beckons, a place I disdain,
Yet, nature craves my body, free from mortal chain.
No solace in life, no purpose to claim,
Awaiting the reaper, in this desolate game.
Chorus:
Running from death, chasing hollow dreams,
In a world of shadows, where nothing gleams.
No joys to embrace, no comforts to find,
Awaiting the reaper, leaving it all behind.
Verse 3:
A spectator of life's masquerade, I stand,
As the world crumbles, like shifting sand.
Seeking refuge in the arms of Mother Earth,
Awaiting the reaper, for death's sweet rebirth.
Outro:
Beneath the soil, where shadows cease,
Awaiting the reaper, the harbinger of peace.
In nature's embrace, my essence will be free,
Awaiting the reaper, for eternity.
