The Reaper Lyrics by We Were Giants

2021

My time's comin' to an end
No this ain't some goodbye from suicide, just one last premonition seen
I just want you all to know that when I pass on to the other side, my job will be to reap up what you sow. And I'll find you every time
Oh!
Alright folks, here we go
Strap yourselves in
Enjoy the show
I'm awake and everything is white
Look around and not a thing in sight
I think that I might have died this night
A misty fog surrounds me
In the distance a shadow grows
You may guess how this story goes
But it plays a little different though
A hooded figure's here to let me know that
I am the one that always seeks out human kind
The ones that suck out the blood of every victim forged by design
And now the time has come for your destiny awaits
You have been chosen to accede me
It's your ending fate
Somehow I always knew that this would come to pass
A burning feeling deep inside my soul
This life was nothing but a test
Prevailed in every single war
While never cheating your way out through manipulation
And every revelation had
I used to keep from falling down
The only purpose was to recognize the way to succeed through all the trauma and all of the games
Always never ending cycles through the fires and the flames
And now they're satisfied, you've passed every test
Every entity above me says that I can lay to rest
So I grab ahold and off we go
The final moments as the man you know
I give a smile as the distance shows
An ending wave goodbye before I go
As we enter in this place unknown
I see a man in red up on his thrown
And right beside a place to call my own
He whispers this is my new home
And every footstep forward echos grow
From every fallen foe the reaper knows
And I accept this is the day I chose
To stand ready as I look him in the eyes
Do you accept all consequences of this transition?
I accept
Now take the scythe!
Now is the time for your soul!
To expel and rid the evil!
This may not have been a choice, but you were given a chance to show your presence within the life after death
The Reaper is what you shook to own
To give conclusion
Maintain balance in this world
My time's comin' to an end
No this ain't some goodbye from suicide, just one last premonition seen
I just want you all to know that when I pass on to the other side my job will be to reap up what you
