Shinigami

Quickly you fly through the air,

Borne only upon your wings.

First one, now two -

Enemies on your left and right,

Closing in for the kill.

Their maws wide open,

Ready to swallow you whole.

Within a second,

Your swords are drawn

As you move to kill them instead.

The Blades of Gloria

Never fail you,

They are your weapons of choice.

Eins. Zwei. Drei. Vier.

You count the seconds off in your head

As the giants topple to the ground.

You stop to rest,

If but only for a moment,

For even gods of death grow tired.

The others now search,

Scared to find that you've left

To walk where men cannot.

But, my dear Corporal,

That isn't so.

You are cursed, you see.

Cursed to live while your comrades die.

A/N: 'Eins. Zwei. Drei. Vier.' means 'One. Two. Three. Four.' in German. Funimation spells his last name Ackermann, which is the German way. And you all must have noticed that there is German in the songs, and in the names, like Jäger. So yeah. That's my reason for doing that. Hope you enjoyed this!
