Reaper, The

Lyrics

I am The Reaper, Of souls lost
With no place to go, No Heaven, no Hell
I am The Reaper, I let you go
With your last breath, I send you away
I am The Reaper, Take my hand
And I’ll lead to you, Salvation of truth
I am The Reaper, And I am the one
Who takes you there, Where most people fear

They call me The Reaper, Reaper, Reaper
They call me The Reaper, Reaper, Reaper
They call me The Reaper, Reaper, Reaper
They call me The Reaper, Reaper, Reaper

Don’t try to beat me, You’ll always loose
Don’t try to cheat me, I always win
Call me evil, If you will
I have a job to do, And I do it well
How do you see me?, It’s all up to you
Take a look at yourself, And make your decision
Am I the angel you seek, Devouring all your pain
Or the screaming demon you fear, Ripping your soul away

They call me The Reaper, Reaper, Reaper
They call me The Reaper, Reaper, Reaper
They call me The Reaper, Reaper, Reaper
They call me The Reaper, Reaper, Reaper

I am The Reaper, Lord of lost souls
Who wander and roam, Avoiding final judgment
I am The Reaper, The ray of light
That you seek, Desperately hoping to find
I am The Reaper, The pit of darkness
That swallows you whole, Then chews you to bits
I am The Reaper, I am everything you love
I am everything you hate, I am everything you fear

They call me The Reaper, Reaper, Reaper
They call me The Reaper, Reaper, Reaper
They call me The Reaper, Reaper, Reaper
They call me The Reaper, Reaper, Reaper

Interpretation

This song is about the grim reaper, in all his powerful and dreadful glory.

Inspiration

I was given the nickname The Reaper at one time, and had just seen the movie Doom when I wrote this song.
The song in a way is based on another side of the song Waiting (Reaper).
