"HAND OF THE REAPER" lyrics

Returned from the embers, pulled back against my will
Desire to stay vacant, let the chemicals take hold
Warm from the thought of death, filled with synthetic power
Left pain at the summit while the current sweeps me under
Yeah

On the edge of the deep end
At the pinnacle of suffering
Wandering eyes and a blackened vein
The darkness is approaching

Returned from the embers, pulled back against my will
Desire to stay vacant, let the chemicals take hold
I'm held against my will
Warm from the thought of death, filled with synthetic power
Live by the rule of the underworld and the beast that wears its numbers

I took the hand of the reaper
I took the hand of the reaper

Closer to lighting up the flaws in his creation
One inhale away from a brand-new devastation

Cave in to contradictions
Motivated by sedation
Elevating backwards
Follow the beast to a blackened vein
I cave in to contradictions
Elevating backwards
Gravitate toward what spawns
The corners of my nightmares

On the edge of the deep end
At the pinnacle of suffering
Wandering eyes and a blackened vein
The darkness pulls me under

Tortured, head in the corner facing what I have done
Can't see past the smoke that blacks out the sun
Closer to lighting up the flaws in his creation
Followed the beast and the reaper that haunts me

I took the hand of the reaper
I took the hand of the reaper
