The Reaper

[Intro]
You can bet your ass that
Your death is coming
As sure as God made
Guilt and regret
You can wear out the leather
On your good boots running
Or go fetch your best chair
And just sit there

[Verse]
Cancer is a mean one
In anyone's eyes
But at least it means
You get to say goodbye
Unlike being a civilian casualty
In a meaningless war
No one knows what they're dying for

[Chorus]
The reaper don't mind the wait
And you can bet your life
That he don't discriminate
The end means nothing
At the end, my friend
When it's time to go
Whether sudden or slow
He's not just the last one you see
But the first one to know

[Verse 2]
You can fight with depression
For your whole life through
If you fall in the battle
There's no medal for you
No one calls you brave
No one said you tried
You won't be a hero in anyone's eyes
Oh

[Chorus]
The reaper don't mind the wait
And you can bet your life
That he don't discriminate
The end means nothing
At the end, my friend
When it's time to go
Whether sudden or slow
He's not just the last one you see
But the first one to know
