Reaper

The reaper told me a secret about dying
He said "What grows must go through
The ice and the snow to a train that leads you to the sea.
You choose one small gift to bring along and offer to the master
You may sing a song or write a poem to save you from the rapture
There's no other way out".
There's no other way out my friend
Until the end, we'll make it through.
So I made my bed and steadied my hand on a knife of purest silver
Once my heart had stopped I embarked on a journey to the center
I traveled day and night on my last plight to finally meet my maker
Once I had arrived I came to find a terrible disaster
There's no other way out.
There's no other way out my friend
Until the end, we'll make it through
They did not see what I chose to bring
So I merely kneeled amongst them
With one swift move, I took away the one they call The Reaper.
