The Reaper Lyrics

Life is a list that I keep in my hands

Cross off your name when you have other plans

Dirty business at my finger's will

I make beating hearts grow still

Life is gift that I'm taking away

Inescapable tax that you pay

Was chosen for this, but not at will

I wish I could trade all my powers that kill

Can't be the reaper and feel love

I am emotionally dead inside

You can run and you can hide

But make no mistake I will find

You, because I see everything all the time

I am a god, I have unlimited reach

I'm looking for souls

You better look for a preacher

I'll never give up until you're down on your knees

Begging, wishing and pleading for a release

Can't be the reaper and feel love

I destroy everything I touch

Can't be the reaper and feel love

I destroy everything I touch
