The Ballad of Goodman Bones

I am the grim reaper I am the lost souls keeper Destined to wear black which for me is rather a drag I would prefer some sharp clothes on my bones and do my work with a mobile phone Drive a nice automobile but would you take me for real? I have a rusty scythe instead this feared symbol of death I want to be loved not hated happy and not frustrated I want to be proud not ashamed praised and not to be blamed I don't want enemies but friends To smile and to shake hands I don't want to be disliked but dear to be welcomed instead of feared I don't want to be avoided but to be met To be Life but i am Death (c)march 1998 by A.Brosi
