When the Reaper Comes
When the Reaper comes
I will be waiting there to shake his hand
We'll talk about all the wrong I've done
With our backs to the Promised Land
I've been waiting for this
I forget every good thing in my mind
He's gonna take me away from this
You say we all just need a little more time
But not me
I've seen all there is to see
It's either left or right there's nothing in between
We're only sympathetic when it's something we can see
And if your dog don't bite
Then your dog's gonna bleed
It makes you wonder who is really on that leash
I set myself on fire in the streets tonight
I laid down in front of that tank but it came looking for a fight
When the Reaper comes
He's bringing death
He's gonna teach each one of us a lesson we won't forget
But not yet...
Let me finish this cigarette
When the Reaper comes I'll be waiting right here
I'm full of love but I've given up
I wanna disappear
He's gonna lead me down to the depths of hell while the evil in the world remains
It might get a little hot but I don't care I'm gonna dance in the fiery flames
But not yet just let me finish this cigarette
