In the black suit of the darkest night,
Crawling through the streets, out of your sight,
I try to redeem
All my deadly sins;
This is how I leave
This community.
In the black boots stepping far ahead,
My death leaves me now; I will not be dead;
The moon is going down
Into the web of dawn,
The mist hangs all around,
The silence bears the sound.
In the black world I arise to reap;
Now I have become the one who never sleeps.
In a place called Earth
There was my birth;
My internal force
Will make you lose your wars.
In the black soul of the rebel's heart,
There's no love nor life, from the very start.
In my lonesome mind
There's no shining light;
You'll find no place to hide
In this black, cold night.
When the black night comes to you,
See, my steel scythe reaps the blooms.
In the black cloak sewn from souls,
I am here.
I'll reap you first.
