Reaper's Dance

Reaper's Dance

Forever old is the story
Grim is the Reaper who snatches the soul
Of his unsuspecting quarry,
Who is unprepared for death's sudden role.

He who flirts with death and finds it,
Oft protests the Reaper's intense embrace.
By Grim's whip, he has been hit.
Taking his shot, consequences must face.

But gently does Grim take the hand
Of the ready spirits with nothing to fear.
On the stage is his ghostly band
To welcome them to the new frontier.
