The Reaper

The warrior drew his sword and dismounted his steed
Death approched with unnerving speed
He didn't even walk, he'd much rather fly
And with him he had the dreaded soul sythe
The fighter yelled strong and loud
Into a grinning skull under a black shroud
"Back to the pits demonous scum,
I have more muscle than you in my thumb"
He stepped forward as the spector replied
"I can't wait to hear your screams as you die"
"It is you who will perish," cried the young man
"Haven't you noticed the magic sword in my hand?"
Death raised his hand and the man started to choke
He fell to his knees as the black demon spoke
"You have too much confidence, you ignorant boy.
Compared to my weapon, that blade's just a toy.
They call me The Reeper and I'll harvest your soul
And take it with me down the bottomless hole."
The warrior stood up and swung with such force
When his sword touched the demon, he felt the pain coarse
Through his body and limbs and into his eyes
And from deep under ground there rose fierce mournful cries
He saw thousands of black shapes, he thought "Am I going blind?
Or is the problem within, am I losing my mind?"
Then someone grabbed him and up he flew
He scratched at the hand but it stuck like glue
He looked down and saw Death and was filled with dismay
He could feel his very soul being sucked slowly away
In the demons hands he twisted and moaned
He started to fall then hit the ground with a groan
He was filled with sadness and utter depression
Then he looked up and saw the hideous procession
Faded black spectors lined up for a mile
Each one the same and terribly vile
He looked at his hands and saw a shadow of black
He looked at his chest and felt down his back
His own hands went through him as if he weren't there
Then all of sudden he became quite aware
He was a ghost, a spector, a demon somehow
Then it him, he was one of them now
He moaned mournfully and looked at the others
Then he quietly got into line with his brothers
