sol hardy – sympathy for the reaper lyrics

she said, “tell me your pain and i’ll tell you mine
i’ve got nothing to gain cause i’m losing time
and i’m new to dying but i’m doing fine
so tell me your pain and i’ll tell you mine”

alright, alright i like your style
he said, i could have been life
but the mortalive light had to cast the roles
now there’s the holy ghost and i’m her shadow
yeah i’m the foe. i’m the man in that empty cloak
quote on quote stealing souls
on the other side of them iron sights
one eyed, one scythe at the aurelian thread
skeleton man, angel of death
harrowing wraith at the foot of the bed, taker of breath
never the benevolent giver of rest
i’m a punishment, an escape at best
the murderer’s murderer, a burden of flesh
so go right ahead and rage, rage against me
they say do not go gently
like they know what it means for the light to end
the night to begin, to finally see
like they know what it means to leave
them in their memories

what am i becoming
what am i becoming
i turn my friends into memories
i turn my love into memories
and i’ll turn you into memories
and i’ll turn you into memories

i am a singer and you are my threnody
i’m a believer and you are my reasoning
i am release and you make me an enemy
shaking your fists at me like judas is kissing me
but here’s something different, this woman that listens
like the best of them pray
“tell me your pain, tell me your pain”
next she’ll be asking me to show her my face
spell her my name while she withers away in a hospital bed
but what will i say now the memory fades
the energy plays and eventually caves, misery tamed
still, who am i, who am i, what is my name
pain, pain what does she mean
i take it away, erase it and make it a faint memory
fade, memory. i am forgetting. i feel no pain. i feel nothing
nothing is nothing is stronger than me
nothing’s calmer than me, can wait longer than me
i swallow gods like they’re water
it’s not a problem to me
that’s a promise i’ll keep
but what’s there for me
what’s left for me

what am i becoming
what am i becoming
i turn my friends into memories
i turn my love into memories
and i’ll turn you into memories
and i’ll turn you into memories

“oh angel, oh angel be careful what you say now
what you came for is untamable, and i can no longer contain it now
this energy, this tender power
the rhythm that plays you like music
how it flows through us
ashes to ashes to flowers and fool’s love
around and around the same empty tomb
stoned on the movement
we all fall up at the end of this movie
gravity disproved. how can i prove it?”
she looked to him, youthful, delicate, simple
he looked to the window, dawn on its sill, slow
still cold with the dew of its sorrow
there’s never tomorrow, only right now
she reached for his arm and lifted her gown
“let me show you how. i can show you how
a flame, it fl!ckers out, a name forgets itself
when pains no longer felt. that you have felt
lord give me help. my heart won’t be held
your love won’t be k!lled. it’s beyond being real
so when all else has faded away and
you take me from under this face
i’ll remain a bolt of life in the brain of time
god may recall when i cross his mind
and i’ll be as real as the day i came alive
if memory is where the living go to die
and the dead are still alive then i
will never be forgotten with you, darling
we will never be forgotten by you
we’ll never grow old. take off your cloak
look in my eyes. lay down that scythe
now come inside
she pulled his hand over her heart, her breast in his palm
and he felt the beat of being alive in the instant it stopped
