Moon in Pisces

The Reaper

Midnight hour,

Rings the bell,

All the secrets,

I know well

Not a word,

Dare I spoke,

Instead you did,

The dead have woke

Crows have gathered,

Words were spoken,

In the graveyard,

Like an omen

You hunted me,

They’re haunting you,

Now your scared,

My words ring true

Knock, knock, knock

Whose at the door?

Can not rest,

No, ‘Nevermore’

Toss and turn,

Haunted dreams,

Say their names,

Hear their screams

Tell-Tale Heart,

Clock is ticking

Who’d you think?

That you were tricking?

The Ravens have spoken,

You sealed your fate,

The Reaper is ready,

He’s at the gate

Should have said sorry

Should have left me alone

Should turn yourself in

And watch your tone

Never deserved this,

Neither did they,

Karma stands ready,

It’s time to pay

Tick tick tok,

Hands of time,

Time’s run out,

You’re next in line
