Full Song Lyrics Below:

Song Hook:
Grim is Out Stretching Death Fields(x7)
And there’s plenty left out to kill…out to kill
Verbal D
Verse 1:
Mother landed,
In a world among the masses,
Where people think slow
Brain fluid like molasses
Underhanded
Ripped round the rashes
Bloody mannered,
body fluid spouting gashes
Molecules are clashing
Chained, brain matter crashing
River Thames, tragic happens
Silver strains, mental fractions
Drained names splatter hacking
Craned pain batter smacking
Rained stains blackened
Paved a strange slain battle caption
Verbal D
Song Hook:
Grim is Out Stretching Death Fields(x7)
And there’s plenty left out to kill…out to kill
Verbal D
Verse 2:
Grim came to my dream last night
He told me to run, run, run, jump, duck and hold on tight
He chased me through a field
His sickle just under my heel
I tripped on fears that he left unconcealed
My mind came crashing
Body thrashing
Scythe was slashing my life
Caused these gashes
Lights were flashing
I gave a hell of a fight
Yet, he made me his possession
No protection
Now I’m dying here
Praying for a resurrection
Said I’m lying here
He is paying no attention...

My very own wonderful gif logo provided to me by the generous and kindhearted @papa-pepper Thanks again very much!
You slayed it man, and put the post out in your own style.
Nice entry and best wishes in the contest!
Haha slayed, I tried my best. Thanks man, appreciate you and your feedback as always, I thoroughly enjoyed putting this post together.
You're welcome man.
Everything about this is great. Music, lyrics, singing, vibe - everything. I wish I had thought to do a horror-themed entry, but I forgot it was Halloween until kids started knocking on doors. I had no candy, so I had to hide inside and let my dog's barking scare people away while my more thoughtful upstairs neighbors gave out candy. Anyway, I don't think I could have done a better spooky song than this. Great job @verbal-d!
Wow thank you for the extremely big compliment and in depth feedback. It really means a lot coming from a fellow musician. I am pretty sure the kids were able to get more than enough candy so I wouldn't feel too bad if I were you. At least your dog provided a bit of fright scare environment :) I would love to hear your first attempt at a horror song. It doesn't have to be only for Halloween. I plan to release an instrumental I made for a scary movie soon. Music can be used in any time Frame in any genre so take a shot! :) appreciate you
Ooh, I just had an idea. I actually do have a horror themed track I recorded years ago (it may have to be completely re-recorded, because I'm not sure if I still have the original separate audio tracks). I recorded a rapper on it, but he wasn't very good and I put the project on the shelf. I've written my own lyrics for it, but maybe you'd be interested in doing something on it instead? Or maybe combine my lyrics and melody with your lyrics. There are several possibilities. I had the movie The Shining in mind when I recorded it, and I used synth sounds similar to those in the movie along with heavy guitars and a funky drumbeat. I called it "The Rhyming". The lyrics I wrote on the road while holed up in a snow-covered truck in Michigan are called "Cabin Fever", which still fits in with the theme of The Shining. So I just thought I'd throw that out there. Let me know if you're interested.
Yes I'm definitely interested to seeing what the song sounds like, then I can let you know if I can write to it or not. Would love to check it out. You have steemit.chat right? I'll message you there, thanks for the heads up
You've got some smooooooth pipes @verbal-d
Great job, love. I'll have to listen again for the words. I was just enjoying the tone of your voice. Might need a snifter of brandy and a cigar now. ;)
I thought I replied to this one, it must have been on the open mic page, again thank you very much, I'm glad you really enjoyed this one.
Dude sick tune. Love the singing and lyrics too !
Thank you for the big compliment, it means a lot coming from another fellow musician who is talented as well, I'm glad you liked all aspects of the song
Great music! Good luck for the contest!
