[Verse]
I wanted you alive
Now I wield the scythe
Harvesting the mortals
The dawn of day so bright
Shines light upon the awful
Fading in the wake of guilt
Hope dies slowly
[Chorus]
Oh my darling I'm so sorry
I'll hold your soul in safest keeping
Now I leave you ever sleeping
Peacefully
[Verse]
Why oh why is it me?
Escorting the one I was desperate to free
Will I be forgiven?
Can I be forgiven?

[Verse]
Your cold and lifeless skin
Brushes up against my wretched bones
Surrendering your human form
An angel sent to take you home
The only love I’ve ever known
[Chorus]
Oh my darling I'm so sorry
I'll hold your soul in safest keeping
Now I leave you ever sleeping
Peacefully
[Bridge]
So rise my dear into the skies
I’ll hold your hand now once again
A portal to the other side
I’ll hold your hand until the end
[Chorus]
I'm so sorry
Relieve you of this painful life
Escort you to the end of time
As I descend upon the ever sleeping
[Outro]
Peacefully
But there’s no peace for me
At the mercy of a fate all consuming
I am death so grim
But there’s no peace for me
‘Til I tear off the head of the one who brought this to be
