[Verse 1]
(Am) Walking in the shadows, (Em)deep and cold.
(G)Where the light don’t reach, (Dm) stories untold.
(Am) Look into the mirror, (Em) what do you see?
(G) A soul in torment, (Dm) aching to be free.
[Chorus]
(C)Kiss of the Reaper, (G) cold and sweet,
(Am) Embrace the dark, (Em) accept defeat.
(F) Dance in the moonlight, (G) feel the chill,
(C) This is our destiny, (Dm) our will.
[Verse 2]
(Am) Shadows creeping, (Em) the end is nigh,
(G) Reflecting the sorrow, (Dm)in your eye.
(Am) The Reaper’s kiss, (Em) a sweet release,
(G) In the dance of death, (Dm) we find peace.
[Chorus]
(C) Kiss of the Reaper, (G) cold and sweet,
(Am) Embrace the dark, (Em) accept defeat.
(F) Dance in the moonlight, (G) feel the chill,
(C) This is our destiny, (Dm) our will.
