Reaper, O Reaper! Calleth my name Though In Vain I have no shame
Reaped Reaping Will Reap
We give so much We get so lost We get back so little After reaping our crops We cease without stop
Reaped Reaping Will Reap
We ask a question We get an answer Find the answer! The answer is key... Its dearest to me!
Reaped Reaping Will Reap
Tending our flock One Runs astray We leave it be But day it shall stay
The sun shall not set Upon such a day For one of my sheep Is still gone astray
I search I scream My lungs, they grow tired My emotions are flaring Like merciless fire
Reaped Reaping Will reap
A testing of courage A testing of faith I saw my young sheep Eating poisonous grapes
I left it to die To die all alone The poisonous grapes... The falling of myself.... I can't do it.... I can't go on....
My heart, it yearns To feel it again My tender sheep My best of all friends
We'd grown so close Over such short a time On my watch,astray... I watched my friend die...
Reaped... Reaping... Will reap...
I promised it well With but a vow I word from my mouth
I left it alone Astray on my watch Till the breaking of day Meant its life had gave way
To the dead and the broken To the broken hearted To my dearest Minerva My dearly departed...
