Grime reaper oh Grime reaper.

How graceful you dance 

Your long thin legs softly lifting of the withering ground 

You float with black clouds below your feet, 

unseen and unheard 

How Graceful you dance 


Angel of Death. 

Beautiful in your own right 

Your wings as dark as midnight sky 

Your eyes not a blacken hole but a glimmering mirror, 

that shows only what is real

Beautiful in your own right 


Azrael.

Cursed is your name, hated by all 

Seen as nothing but a lethal wind,

That comes and goes with no apology left

taking those we love the most 

Welcome not like your brothers 

Feared and belittle 

Cursed is your name 


But you too are still an Angelic creature 

Your job important like all others

You are not a monster of the night

You are but a messenger, given a job


Death oh glorious death 

Gracefully you dance
