Cradle Robber

My name is Death
 You'll come to know me well
 I'll steal your soul
 Then leave a lifeless shell
 I creep into your room
 But your soul's not what I crave
 Tonight I'll take your only child
 To an early grave
 Your time passes with every falling grain of sand
 The hourglass has emptied, the end is at hand
 By now you know my name, death is who I am
 So come and follow me into unknown lands
 Mother don't you cry to me
 The child is mine
 Don't try to beg or plead
 Mother, your sorrow is so sweet
 This is your destiny
 You can't bargain with me
 My deed here is done
 There'll be no convincing
 I have no compassion
 Your cries go unanswered
 Your sadness matters not
 I will drain all life from you
 And leave your corpse to rot
 Your time passes with every falling grain of sand
 The hourglass has emptied, the end is at hand
 By now you know my name, death is who I am
 So come and follow me into unknown lands
 See the gleam of my scythe
 Your spirit is my prize
 Lifeless eyes, your demise
 I laugh at your petty cries
 Mother don't you cry to me
 The child is mine
 Don't try to beg or plead
 Mother, your sorrow is so sweet
 This is your destiny
 Mother, don't you cry to me
 Mother, your sorrow is so sweet
