lyrics

You see the beauty, of a world that’s drenched in hope.
And I hear a heartbeat pounding on my stethoscope.
Look at me like a man who’s beyond repentance.
But I cannot be criticized for doing what I do best.

Go ahead and call me the Reaper, give me everything you know.
I could make your life so much sweeter, then I will just let you go!

Oh, oh, oh Is it alright if I stay for the night and then go?
I’m not looking for someone to change my whole world.
Just grant me a respite from my lack of words.

I’m not the victim so it doesn’t really make sense to me.
We’ve all got what we want, and what we want it comes for free.
So don’t act like a martyr, no one sees you as a saint.
We’ve all got an agenda that we were all made to create, yeah!

That’s why they call me the Reaper, my plan doesn’t look that nice,
You’ve got to live it, feel it, breathe it, have to see it from my eyes!
You may say that I’m selfish when I take everything you know,
But that’s why they call me the Reaper, I take what I want and then go!

Oh, oh, oh, Is it alright if I stay for the night and then go?
I’m not looking for someone to change my whole world.
Just grant me a respite from my lack of words.
(solo)
Go ahead and call me the Reaper. X5
I’ll let you go!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, is it alright if I stay for the night and then go?
I’m not looking for someone to change my whole world,
Just grant me a respite from my lack of words.

Go ahead and call me the Reaper!
