Joel Taylor - The Reaper Lyrics

I'll tell you a story
But it ain't about no ghost
His bodies a weapon and he's not in control
Gods are scared off his shadows
They'll beg him 'Mercy please'
And in the devils nightmares
He is the only thing he sees
They call him The Reaper
So they can remember
There's no way of hiding you can't bargain with
The Beast
Is he a dead man or a living ghost?
Cause all we know is
He doesn't have a soul
And he's always behind you
Well, so the story goes
He toppled an empire
And he never even spoke
They call him The Reaper
So they can remember
He is the memory you don't get
To choose
Do you think he feels emotion?
Do you think its heart beats?
Some say he's empty
Some refuse to believe
But no ones seemed to notice
I've been gone a while
I drifted off slowly
That made it smile
They call him The Reaper
So they can remember
Now you know the story it's coming
For you
He's got you in it's sights
He's been watching all this time
And now it will take you
Where the fire burns bright

I'll tell you a story
But it ain't about no ghost
His bodies a weapon and he's not in control
Gods are scared off his shadows
They'll beg him 'Mercy please'
And in the devils nightmares
He is the only thing he sees
They call him The Reaper
So they can remember
There's no way of hiding you can't bargain with
The Beast
Is he a dead man or a living ghost?
Cause all we know is
He doesn't have a soul
And he's always behind you
Well, so the story goes
He toppled an empire
And he never even spoke
They call him The Reaper
So they can remember
He is the memory you don't get
To choose
Do you think he feels emotion?
Do you think its heart beats?
Some say he's empty
Some refuse to believe
But no ones seemed to notice
I've been gone a while
I drifted off slowly
That made it smile
They call him The Reaper
So they can remember
Now you know the story it's coming
For you
He's got you in it's sights
He's been watching all this time
And now it will take you
Where the fire burns bright
