"The Reaper" lyrics

"The Reaper"

The reaper will call, yeah
The reaper will call

With a quest for answers covered in gold
You still search but your back is against the wall
With a broken voice, your spirit devoured
What once was sweet has turned to sour

I fear the shadows coming at night
And there's a storm within my mind
And though the creatures come as they might
I'm just a stranger to your eyes

How could you leave me in the cold night, Starlight?
I see no meaning of it all, the reaper will call
The reaper will call, oh-oh-oh
The reaper will call

Ooh, in the dark of night I painted your face
Hair locks in a gust of morbid haze
As a fallen angel sent from the skies
Read the palm within my lines

'Cause you fear the dark as you turn off the light
But I still haunt your bed at night
And though my shadows come as they might
I'm just a stranger to your eyes

How could you leave me in the cold night, Starlight?
I see no meaning of it all, the reaper will call
The reaper will call

How could you leave me in the cold night, Starlight?
I see no meaning of it all, the reaper will call
The reaper will call, oh-oh-oh

How could you leave me in the cold night, Starlight?
How could you leave me in the cold night, Starlight?
How could you leave me in the cold night, Starlight?
Oh, the reaper will call
How could you leave me in the cold night, Starlight?
