My Friend, The Reaper (Early Demo)
Started working on this one last night. It's venturing a bit out of my normal writing style as the song is a conversation between the main character and death itself. It's far from done and is subject to change, but I wanted to share! It also switches time signatures: something I have never done in a song before. Hope you enjoy.
Hello again my dear friend
How good it is to see you again
I know why you’re here
But I ask that you hear
My plea this time again
Spare this life that lays before us both
Let them go to live another day
And in just a few years you can come back
And at that point you can have your way
Hello again my old friend
It figures you’d beg and plead
But unfortunately this time you see
I can’t let him slip away
You know what I need
A soul to take
So what will it be this time
Will you let me win or
Will you take the hit again
