In the blackest shroud like a raven's wing The Grim Reaper of souls Will bring doom to all His presence is fear He is the ultimate law When all the lines of life Will fade into oblivion The reaper of souls! Death above all! Only darkness Desolation No salvation From the void All these lives Fading light Of cold stars In the abyss Deprived of mercy and hope When all your prayers come to nought You feel despair and dread It's time to rot in the grave Death above all! The reaper of souls! Death above all!
