Despised Icon - Reaper Lyrics

Despised Icon Lyrics

"Reaper"
(feat. Tom Barber (Chelsea Grin) and Scott Ian Lewis (Carnifex))

2002 OG
It started out with a vision
A mission to escape, to vacate this permanent prison
A new religion, no Gods to dictate
The rules are ours to break

When the Reaper calls...
Takes it all away
When the Reaper calls...

Calls out my name
When the Reaper takes it all away
I'll be at peace
I have fulfilled my destiny
Resistance is vain
When the Reaper takes it all away
I'll be at peace
I have fulfilled my destiny

Into the ether
I release into the ether
I submit to the painless flow
All this thought is merely purely observation
I foresee to only grow
When the Reaper calls...

Calls out my name
When the Reaper takes it all away
I'll be (I'll be) at peace
I have fulfilled my destiny
Resistance is vain
When the Reaper takes it all away
I'll be (I'll be) at peace
I have fulfilled my destiny

From the ground up, never gave up
From the gutter to the surface
Felt the weight and the pressure of purpose
Heavy risks and major benefits

This is how men are made
Wake up and grind everyday
Crushing weight of our purpose
In the end it's all worth it

Now I see that suffering
Was the purpose after all
Face the Reaper
Ready to meet my maker
