Reaper No More

He lost a bet.
Now he’s caught in the land of the living.
Trapped by two babes,
He has to give up killing.

But what do you do,
When it’s all you know?
What will you become?
Where will you go?

Dressed all in black
With a bleached white skull,
His smile was never meant to be beautiful.

And the scythe that he carries
Is too heavy for his hands.
What will he do now?
He is trapped in these lands.

The souls he should take
Keep making mistakes.
Recklessly endangering their lives.
But he can not save them.
He knows only to scare them.
He is Death to them in their eyes.

Trapped in this city
Full of remorse and pity,
He’ll never go home again.
