Dance with the reaper

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.
