Sweet Revenge
-:-
A walking pace
A darkened face
A fire in the grate
A day that came
And she's to blame
For love that turned to hate
-:-
Sleeping gently
Evidently
Resting without a care
The man she'll love
And keep above
All others, resting there
-:-
Dark shadows form
And she is torn
And fearing for her life
He will arrive
And take her life
And rob sleeper of his wife
-:-
Is it her fault
That she was caught
Inside his darkened soul?
The way he cared
She never shared
Revenge is now his goal
-:-
And now he's here
Ignites her fear
She prepares for his swing
That bloody scythe
Will be his knife
With which her death to bring
-:-
The day Grim told
Of love so bold
She'd turned it all away
For he was Death
And nought was left
For her to try and say
-:-
Right from the start
It seemed her heart
Belonged to another man
A man so pure
And so unsure
Of where his love began
-:-
And so she waited
Breath was baited
For Billy to confess
She was the one
And it was done
No more, and nothing less
-:-
A heart was dead
When Mandy said
She could not love Grim well
So he replied
The day she died
He'd carry her to hell
-:-
On a dark night
He'd take the light
Of Billy's life to keep
And he would know
As it would show
He was the reason for the Reap
-:-
Billy slept on
Dreamt of a song
Where Mandy and he were wed
He could not know
Mandy would go
And he would find her dead
-:-
The clouds were grey
Mandy was prey
And she felt Death appear
'I'm ready' she said
'For being dead
Is better than living in fear'
-:-
He laughed, he screamed
Billy still dreamed
And then words came from Grim
'What a mistake
Tonight I take
Not you, my love, but him'
