Funeral hymn


Let not the sun go down on my wrath
I let it shake the world
Vengeance is the grudge I bear
flag of reckoning unfurled
You are the architect
of your own demise
so smile no more
I am the gatekeeper,
and you are mine for evermore

[Chorus:]
Come greet the reaper
You know the time is nigh
This is the day of reckoning,
your time to die
Brave men they spin in fear
At the sound of my voice
Say goodbye to life so dear
You no longer have a choice

Burnt black and silent,
rust and blood
upon my reaper's blade
I come collect the tolls
gather up all the debts unpaid
I call when you least expect
but when you deserve it the most
Behold the timekeeper
the end is getting close

[Chorus]

The dead no longer have
A cross to bear
The dead no longer have
Need to despair
Death has come
And set the snare
Death will come
When you are unaware

[Solo: Lee]
[Solo: Gary]
[Solo: Gary]
[Solo: Lee]

The misbegotten have the gall
to think them safe and sound
They try to cheat the reaper
scatter, hide, no matter, found
The wheel of life is standing still
For them it turns no more
Now comes the soul keeper
and you become my whore

[Chorus]

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Exodus is an American thrash metal band formed in 1979 in San Francisco, California.

Exodus has influenced countless metal bands over the years. Some of their most representative songs include "Bonded by Blood", "Strike Every Chord" and "Pleasures of the Flesh". Their debut album, "Bonded by Blood" (1985), is considered a classic of the thrash metal genre, while "Fabulous Disaster" (1987) cemented their success. The band has gone through several lineup changes over the years, but Gary Holt, the guitarist, has been a constant presence since the band's formation. Exodus continues to be active and record new albums, maintaining a prominent place in the global metal scene.
