He stalks the streets in daylight,
he stalks the streets in rain.
He stalks the streets and patiently waits
to begin his little game.

He's already chosen his victim
just waiting for the chance to strike.
He anticipates submission,
does not believe there will be a fight.

They'll all be mine sooner or later,
he thinks but does not say.
Yes, each and every one of them
shall let me have my way.

I do not fear him,
he shall never win me,
for although he'll win my body
my soul shall then be free.

The game has only just begun
when he puts his mark on me,
for sitting in my corner is a
team he refuses to see.

I know that God is with me.
He will not let me slide.
I shall not be alone when
I take the reapers ride.

He stalks the streets in nighttime,
he stalks the streets in snow,
he looks in every window but
himself he does not show.

He's quiet as a desert,
he makes no noise when he walks.
he leaves no footprints behind him
when he, the reaper, stalks.

Do not fear the giver of death
do not lose control,
for death it cannot hurt you
if it's God who has your soul.
