Reaper Lyrics

You're goddam right I fear the reaper
Every time I hear the closing chords
I'm not afraid to die
But living just doesn't make much sense at all

I'm losing it

It's miserable
When your name reads like an epitaph
And every ounce of strength is used to wave your friends goodbye
I sat and prayed for a changing tide
Every night

Let the city sleep soundly
Every door remain closed
We will move with the oceans
Till we're inches from home

And from the shores of our town
We will pity the old
As our freedom once priceless
Is now paid for in gold

For every thought rejected
Every moment that's spent
Building bars on our boxes
A mercenary's lament

For every thought rejected
Every moment that's spent
Building bars on our boxes
A mercenary's lament

We can do better
