Darkness Descends - X-Raided

I came in the form of man in the cover of darkness

You can beg for your life and discover I’m heartless

Maybe your baby, your wife, or your mother’s a target

It might be your father, your daughter, or brother you part with

It starts with the first heart tick

Your name’s on the chart as soon as the flame of your soul has a spark lit

Regardless everybody must depart this

Earthly form upon birth your born

When the darkness descends

Everyone must come in the gun regardless of sin

It’s the harvest of men

Whether you shine like the sun you succumb to that darkness within (x2)

It begins with a shiver

And the temperature in the room decreased when I enter and whisper

When the time is near when X I appear

I kiss her

Wife in tears and disappear

My presence isn’t welcome so I come uninvited

When she’s asleep she thinks she’s dreaming and doesn’t wake up

But she weeps and in the morning she awakes in a daze and it seeps from her

mind and eventually fades

And her head’s full of grey hairs

She’s 88 years old — retired now but used to run a daycare

She lives alone to one to come to see her she lost her son in 'Nam and her

husband in Korea

Getting hard to recall memories of places

And she looks at her pictures and can’t remember faces

So I come and I hold her in the coldness and embrace her

And whisper «It's time to escape»

Behold

It begins with the silent SCREAM

From a child as he looks into my eyes and realizes what he’s seeing

His innocence allows him to to see me when he’s conscious

He wonders if I’m an angel or demonic monster

Nonsense

I calm him and tell him that I’m godsent

Neither good or evil here to take him where his mom went

She died when he was born his father resents him

Abuses and hits him and since then his life’s been a storm

He’s 5 with the eyes of an old man

In a state of mourn cause his heart’s been torn

He never should’ve known such pain so grim that the flame of his soul still

glows for the dim

He arose with a half-woke stim

He no longer grows in his loves but he no longer knows

So I come hold him in the coldness and embrace him

And whisper «It's time to escape»

Behold

I misunderstood

The image of a skeletal fish with a scithe and a hood

It’s a myth to be loved to be missed

When you cry to be hugged to be kissed

When you die is a gift in disguise

Shift through the lies and you’ll find it if you dig deeper

I’m the Angel of Death — The Grim Reaper

Strangle your breath when it’s time

Then lead you to Judgement

The bold good and evil men seek

But people believe in a myth

Yet I would gladly exchange my existence for yours

Give anything to live a normal life

To feel the love of a child, the warmth of a wife

Human beings are blessed when they quest for the light

But, they don’t know their own light’s up

When it’s time for me to hold you in the coldnest embrace

Just know if you’re righteous your soul’ll be safe
