Verse 1
In the silence of the midnight hour
Shadows stretch, the candles cower
I hear your footsteps on the stone
You’ve come to claim what’s not your own
Pre-Chorus
Your cloak is woven out of night
Your scythe reflects the fading light
Chorus
Reaper, won’t you dance with me?
Spin me through eternity
If I must go, then take my hand
And lead me to your shadow land
Verse 2
Eyes like embers, cold and deep
Keeper of the souls you keep
I feel the chill upon my skin
The end of everything begins
Pre-Chorus
No prayer can bargain, no song can hide
You cut the cord on either side
Chorus
Reaper, won’t you dance with me?
Spin me through eternity
If I must go, then take my hand
And lead me to your shadow land
Bridge
Maybe you’re not fear, but fate
The final key to every gate
And when you come, I’ll understand
We all must bow to your command
Chorus
Reaper, take this last embrace
Guide me to that timeless place
No chains, no sorrow, just the end
And maybe, maybe—peace, my friend.
