Michael Alø - The Reaper's Lullaby Lyrics

In the valley where the shadows grow
There's a tale the old folks know
Of a figure dressed in black and gray
Who comes to steal your breath away

They say he walks when the moon is low
Through fields where only cold winds blow
His touch is light, his voice a sigh
He sings a reaper's lullaby

Oh, the Reaper's lullaby, soft and sweet
Lures you in with promises you can't defeat
One by one, the lost souls cry
As they fall asleep to the Reaper's lullaby

Once a man with a heart so bold
Thought he'd cheat the tales of old
But when he heard that haunting tune
He knew his end was coming soon

Now in the dark, where the lost dreams lie
You can hear the Reaper's gentle cry
He gathers the souls in the dead of night
Leading them to eternal night

Oh, the Reaper's lullaby, soft and sweet
Lures you in with promises you can't defeat
One by one, the lost souls cry
As they fall asleep to the Reaper's lullaby

Now in the dark, where the lost dreams lie
You can hear the Reaper's gentle cry
He gathers the souls in the dead of night
Leading them to eternal night

Oh, the Reaper's lullaby, soft and sweet
Lures you in with promises you can't defeat
One by one, the lost souls cry
As they fall asleep to the Reaper's lullaby

Oh, the Reaper's lullaby, soft and sweet
Lures you in with promises you can't defeat
One by one, the lost souls cry
As they fall asleep to the Reaper's lullaby

When the night is still and the stars don't shine
You'll know it's time, he'll claim what's mine
With a final breath, you'll close your eyes
To the sound of the Reaper's lullaby
Lullaby

So if you feel a chill in the air
And see the shadows lurking there
Remember the song that never lies
And beware the Reaper's lullaby
