[Intro]
Heart slow
Eyes up
Steel breath
Tighten up (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Black flag in my backpack
Dog tags on my tongue taste metal
War paint in the cracks of my knuckles
Every scar is a vow I settled
I don’t break, I break doors
Step through smoke where your saints fade
Pray all you want to a blank sky
I’m the one that came when you name’s said (shh)
Teeth bare in the night like a signal
Footprints burn in the ash where I pass
You hear chains drag in the hallway
That’s just me, taking names, never masks (never masks)
[Pre-Chorus]
You feel chills down your spine when it gets too quiet
That’s me in the gap ‘fore the storm, don’t deny it
You dropped troops in the dark, I was already there
Every breath that you hold, boy, I’m cutting the air
[Chorus]
I’m the grim reaper, reaper
Say my name, I creep up deeper
You can run, but I walk through ether
Guess who’s waiting in your mirror
(Grim reaper) hands like winter
Touch your soul, your fire flickers
When your whole damn world goes weaker
Guess who’s standing in the center
[Verse 2]
Gold teeth grinning in the gun smoke
Crown made outta barbed wire, fits
Every king wanna beg for a white flag
I just laugh, let it fall from his wrists (ha)
Boot prints in the wet red dirt
I don’t bluff, I don’t blink, I don’t bless
I just tip my hood for the fallen
Then I come for the ones who are next (you’re next)
Dark cloak in the flame-lit rubble
Every shot, every shout, just a hymn
War drums in my chest go double
Every beat count down to the end (tick… tick…)
[Pre-Chorus]
You feel chills down your spine when it gets too quiet
That’s me in the gap ‘fore the storm, don’t deny it
You dropped troops in the dark, I was already there
Every breath that you hold, boy, I’m cutting the air
[Chorus]
I’m the grim reaper, reaper
Say my name, I creep up deeper
You can run, but I walk through ether
Guess who’s waiting in your mirror
(Grim reaper) hands like winter
Touch your soul, your fire flickers
When your whole damn world goes weaker
Guess who’s standing in the center
[Bridge]
[whispered]
Left right
Left right
Hear that
Chest tight
[chanting]
When I march, whole ground start breathing (hey!)
Hands up if you came here bleeding (hey!)
One call, whole squad start screaming
Who you think they follow when they’re leaving?
[Chorus]
I’m the grim reaper, reaper
Say my name, I creep up deeper
You can run, but I walk through ether
Guess who’s waiting in your mirror
(Grim reaper) hands like winter
Touch your soul, your fire flickers
When your whole damn world goes weaker
Guess who’s standing in the center (yeah)
[Outro]
Heart slow
Eyes shut
Last breath
Time’s up
