Time is the Reaper

Light the candle
Touch the flame
Close your eyes
But feel no pain
Higher and Higher
Lower and Lower
I’ve sunk and climbed
To every High
Deeper and deeper
Time is the Reaper
A hooded soul
A face we know
Watch the words
Roll off your tongue
But all I hear
Is a song unsung
Burn a candle
Hide your pain
Drink a life
And guess my name
Higher and Higher
Lower and lower
I’ve sunk and climbed
To every high
Deeper and deeper
Time is the Reaper
A hooded soul
A face we know
Drunk in life
You’ll sip my pain
Rest assured
You’ll know my name
