Bbwav - The Taker Lyrics

He's standing in the water, shadow filling every space
A ghoulish specter shifting at a feverish pace
Two cinder eyes burn in a formless head
Twisted claws grip a staff and a bucket of the dead
Endless rows of teeth fit to chew through my rind
A crown of souls round his head, the center one is mine
Six miles down in a death soaked cave
Only at the end do I see your face
This was my choice, I dug the grave
My grand finale, I tied the chains
Six miles down in a death soaked cave
Only at the end do I see your face
This was my choice, I dug the grave
My grand finale, I tied the chains
But what if I was wrong, what if I changed my mind
He laughed, a shriek that defied all design
"Where would you go, run back to your maker?
You asked to be erased, so here I am, the taker
There is no fade to black, there is no peaceful end
We've waited far too long now let us begin"
Take a step back, fear flowing through the tears
I could turn up the stairs, but I'd run there for years
The water starts to boil, the air starts to wail
I shuffled off the mortal coil, burned every trail
Six miles down in a death soaked cave
Just another pawn in an endless game
No running now, I can't be saved
Standing on the edge, now there's no escape
Six miles down in a death soaked cave
Just another pawn in an endless game
No running now, I can't be saved
Standing on the edge, now there's no escape
