Hello, Mr Reaper
Hello, Mr Reaper
I suspected it was time
For you to come knocking
On the door of my soul
You can come in
I'll make some tea
A last supper
Just you and me
I may be old, Mr Reaper
But I'm still strong
My body is failing
But my heart is young
Still beating in defiance and love
For those that have stayed
And those that have gone
I know that doesn't matter
Not to you
You just have a job to do
I'm just a whisper
A faint sensation
But to them
I'm a whole world
It hurts, Mr Reaper
I wont lie
I'm scared
I'm weak
I'm leaving the known behind
I'm facing the black
And I can't turn back
But I'm ready
Let us go, Mr Reaper
Your tea's grown cold
And so have I
But the warmth of love
Still burns inside
