Cradle Robber

(album: Chaos Of Forms - 2011)

My name is Death
You'll come to know me well
I'll steal your soul
Then leave a lifeless shell

I creep into your room
But your soul's not what I crave
Tonight, I'll take your only child to an early grave

Your time passes with every falling grain of sand
The hourglass has emptied, the end is at hand
By now you know my name, Death is who I am
So come and follow me into unknown lands

Mother, don't you cry to me
The child is mine, don't try to beg or plead
Mother, your sorrow is so sweet
This is your destiny

You can't bargain with me, my deed here is done
There'll be no convincing, I have no compassion
Your cries go unanswered, your sadness matters not
I will drain all life from you and leave your corpse to rot

Your time passes with every falling grain of sand
The hourglass has emptied, the end is at hand
By now you know my name, Death is who I am
So come and follow me into unknown lands

See the gleam... of my scythe
Your spirit... is my prize
Lifeless eyes (lifeless eyes!)... your demise (your demise!)
I laugh at your petty cries

Mother, don't you cry to me
The child is mine, don't try to beg or plead
Mother, your sorrow is so sweet
This is your destiny

Mother, don't you cry to me. Don't you cry to me!
Mother, your sorrow is so sweet!
