lyrics

Oni, I am the
In a distant haze I sit and wait
for my chance to attack my prey
You're a pitiful sight
You don't deserve a life
You'd love to hear her cry
I'd love to watch you die

I am the reaper
I am the one
sent to collect somber souls under the sun
I am the moral statis between life and death
sent to collect, collect the lives like yours
Who prey on innocent beings that are yet to mature
You took advantage of them
I'll take good care of you
Hanging by your neck
Hope you enjoy the view
Of my favorite color as it drips from you

Slowly, you are fading away
Don't go. Please stay awake
I want to watch your face as I reenact the things you made them see

As you come down onto your knees
there's no forgiveness for the weak
There's no forgiveness for the weak
And as that last tear rolls down your face
this is how it has to be
This is how it has to be.

I am the reaper
I am the one
sent to collect somber souls under the sun
I am the moral statis between life and death
sent to collect, collect the lives like yours
Who prey on innocent beings that are yet to mature
You took advantage of them
I'll take good care of you
Hanging by your neck
Hope you enjoy the view

What a beautiful masterpiece, to watch you bleed
and the abstract it creates
What a beautiful masterpiece
The bright red colors mixing with the steam from the heat

Oni, I am the
I'm breathing down your neck
I'm breathing down your neck
Panting, begging
I'm ready to attack
I'm ready to attack

Piece by piece I will dismember you
Slaughtered like swine
Left to rot

Now that my work is done
I will descend back from where I come
The place where darkness meets light
The place where the living can't survive
A life of harm and constant regret will only bring you to me
Letting the torture begin
I am the protector of life and the provider of death
I am the Oni demon
