Within the shadows where the darkness creeps
There walks a figure that never sleeps
With eyes like stars and wings of black
The angel of death, never turning back
Silent footsteps on the cold, damp ground
No mercy in the whispers that resound
A solemn presence, a silent guide
Leading souls to where they'll abide
Oh, deadly angel, with wings of night
You walk among us, out of sight
You come for us when our time is due
Guiding us to the unknown, so true (so true)
Through the valleys and the fields you roam
Calling softly to lead us home
Your touch is cold, but your heart is kind
In the end, its peace we'll find
Though feared by many, you're not unkind
A gentle guide to what's left behind
You offer solace in our final breath
Embracing us in the arms of death
Oh, deathly angel, with wings of night
You walk among us, out of sight
You come for us when our time is due
Guiding us to the unknown, so true
In the shadows where the darkness creeps
There walks a figure that never sleeps
With eyes like stars and wings of black
The angel of death never turning back
Through the valleys and the fields you roam
Calling softly to lead us home
Your touch is cold, but your heart is kind
In the end, its peace we'll find
Though feared by many, you're not unkind
A gentle guide to what's left behind
You offer solace in our final breath
Embracing us in the arms of death, so true
Oh, death is cold, but your heart is kind
In the end, its peace we'll find
In the end, its peace we'll find
Though feared by many, you're not unkind
A gentle guide to what's left behind
You offer solace in our final breath
Embracing us in the arms of death
