Give the Reaper a Chance (Remastered)

[Verse] The reaper knocks at my front door Dusty boots on my creaky floor His shadow’s long His smile is sly But I see truth beneath his eye [Verse 2] He whispers low No need to run Life’s a story I’m the final one But in his hand There’s no disdain Just a quiet end to every pain [Chorus] Give the reaper a chance to speak He’s not as cold He’s not so bleak Behind that scythe There’s a weary soul Catching lives as the bell doth toll [Verse 3] The moonlight spills across his face He moves with an unhurried grace No hurried rush No need for fight A silent waltz in the endless night [Bridge] What if we’ve misunderstood his name He’s not a villain in this mortal game Steps so soft Hands so kind He leads us gently to what’s aligned [Verse 4] So when he calls Don’t shut the door He’s walked this earth forevermore We all must meet him One by one Under the sky When day is done
