Funeral Hymn Lyrics - Exodus

Let not the sun go down on my wrath 

I let it shake the world 

Vengeance is the grudge I bear 

Flag of reckoning unfurled 

You are the architect 

Of your own demise 

So smile no more 

I am the gatekeeper, 

And you are mine for evermore 

[Chorus] 

Come greet the reaper 

You know the time is nigh 

This is the day of reckoning, 

Your time to die 

Brave men they spin in fear 

At the sound of my voice 

Say goodbye to life so dear 

You no longer have a choice 

Burnt black and silent, 

Rust and blood 

Upon my reaper's blade 

I come collect the tolls 

Gather up all the debts unpaid 

I call when you least expect 

But when you deserve it the most 

Behold the timekeeper 

The end is getting close 

[Chorus] 

The dead no longer have 

A cross to bear 

The dead no longer have 

Need to despair 

Death has come 

And set the snare 

Death will come 

When you are unaware 

The misbegotten have the gall 

To think them safe and sound 

They try to cheat the reaper 

Scatter, hide, no matter, found 

The wheel of life is standing still 

For them it turns no more 

Now comes the soul keeper 

And you become my whore 

[Chorus]
