Song 06 - Gentle Reaper
Music by Rosally Saltsman
Lyrics by Chana Rochel Frumin 

Listen to a snippet 
(for women listeners)  



Ancient Reaper, Ancient Reaper
Restore my life and ailing spirits
Change my echoes back to words, back to words

Ancient Reaper, Ancient Reaper
Restore my life and ailing spirits
My clouded thinking back to memories

Holy Reaper
Nicely my pain
Was politely forgotten
Carefully curtained
Locked in my rusty chest

Holy Reaper
Nicely my pain
Was politely forgotten
To protect my weak knees
Faint heart and weak mind

Ancient Reaper
Listen, listen
To my lost laughter
Let Your tears fall
I’ll sing a sorry song
And give me some harmony

Let’s begin Reaper
To reach a new ending
We’ll open my secret world
With the tenderest compassion
Refuse to betray my truth

Let’s begin Reaper
To reach a new ending
We’ll open my secret world
Or abandon me as a possibility

Ancient Reaper
Listen, listen
To my lost laughter
Let Your tears fall
I’ll sing a sorry song
And give me some harmony

Yes Reaper I’ll plunge
Mind, me and memory
Into a world of something very new
Into a world of something very new

Ancient Reaper, Holy Reaper,
Ancient Reaper, Holy Reaper
