The Reaper
Lenee Lyrics

Out of the blue
Unexpectedly

Out from the dark
Emerging from the shadows

So suddenly sudden appears
An abrupt arrival

A feeling I've known since I was young
A familiar sensation that's been around for a long time

But suddenly sudden so clear
Becoming crystal clear in the moment

Drawn to the sea
Feeling compelled to go to the ocean

Forced by the moon
Driven by the gravitational pull of the moon

Tell me there's nothing to fear
Reassurance that there is no cause for worry

Lost in the smoke
Confused and uncertain

A dangerous fog
A hazardous mist

But suddenly sudden so clear
Suddenly becoming more evident

All I could see
The only thing I could perceive

All I could feel
The only thing I could sense

Never have I been in love
I have never experienced romantic love before

The taste of a kiss
The sensation of a passionate kiss

The touch of your hand
The feeling of your skin against mine

Is now all that I'm thinking of
Your touch is on my mind constantly

Heavenly breath
A divine exhale

Sweet on my skin
A pleasant scent on my body

Pleasures to keep my eyes shut
The sensations are so enjoyable that I want to close my eyes and focus on them

Tell me the truth
Be honest with me

I'd never win
I can't seem to come out on top

I promise you love
I guarantee my affection for you

I promise you me
My true self is what I'm giving you

Everything I am is yours
My entire being belongs to you

Every piece
All of me

You promise to hold
You vow to keep me close

You promise to never let go
You promise to always be by my side

I swear to be true
I promise to be honest and loyal

I swear to be kind
I pledge to be compassionate and considerate

So tell me can you swear the same
Are you able to make the same promises?

Swear you won't lie
Promise not to deceive

Always be true
Be genuine and honest all the time

Swear it all over again
Promise me repeatedly

Tell me your reason
Explain why

I had a few
I had several

Guess we were in it to lose
I suppose we knew we couldn't win

I hear him tonight
I can sense the Grim Reaper nearby

And all of your lies
Your dishonesty is about to catch up with you

The reaper is coming for you
Death is imminent and you can't escape it

Oh so many it's hard to choose
There were numerous reasons

We had our demons
We had our internal battles to fight

Didn't know we were in it to lose
We didn't realize our fate was sealed

Somehow we never saw
We failed to recognize

The poison hiding inside our veins
The toxic influence coursing through our bodies

We tried to excuse it all
We attempted to justify our actions

But everyone knows what the story says
Our story ends badly, as expected

You're a savage
You are ruthless in your pursuit of wealth and status

Turning stone into gold
Able to transform the ordinary into something extraordinary

Looking for diamonds
Searching for valuable treasures

Only leaving me traces of coal
Leaving me with less than I started with

My mama always said
My mother used to tell me

There's monsters hiding in every bed
Evil lurks everywhere

Tell me to make a mess
Encouraging me to take risks and be disruptive

Three might keep a secret
A group of three can keep a secret

If two of them are dead
Unless one or more members of the group are gone

Careful what you wish for
Be cautious of what you desire

No regret
Without remorse
