[VERSE 1] The church bells warned me. The old folks stared. They crossed themselves Every time he appeared. Black coat dragging Through the fog and the frost. A thousand years old And a thousand years lost. He knew every secret Buried under the ground. Every promise forgotten. Every king taken down. And God help me... I wanted him anyway. [PRE-CHORUS] Maybe I'm broken. Maybe I'm cursed. Maybe I saw the darkness... And loved it first. [CHORUS] So kiss me, Reaper. Pull me into the night. Wrap your shadows around me. Hold me tight. The whole world fears you. They tremble and run. But I'd follow your footsteps Past the moon. Past the sun. Past forever. Just to stay where you are. [VERSE 2] He smelled like rainstorms, Old paper and smoke. Like the last page of a story Nobody spoke. His hands carried endings. His eyes carried years. Enough grief to drown oceans. Enough silence to fill ears. And sometimes I'd catch him Watching the living below. Like he wished he remembered What it felt like to hope. [CHORUS] So kiss me, Reaper. Pull me into the night. Wrap your shadows around me. Hold me tight. The whole world fears you. They tremble and run. But I'd follow your footsteps Past the moon. Past the sun. Past forever. Just to stay where you are. [BRIDGE] If heaven wants me... Tell heaven to wait. I'm busy loving The keeper of fate. If hell wants me... They'll have to stand in line. Because Death himself Already claimed what's mine. [FINAL CHORUS] Kiss me, Reaper. One more time. Let the stars go dark. Let the clocks unwind. When the final curtain Finally falls apart... Take the world. Take the sky. Just don't take your heart... Away from mine. [OUTRO] And when my name Finally reaches your list... Don't greet me like a stranger. Greet me... Like the girl you kissed.
