Harvest the Reaper

Cold wind at my back

Boot prints in the ash and bone

Rust on my attack

I walk this field alone

Scythe edge on my neck

Breath hot

Smelling dust and rain

He laughs

I laugh back

We share the same old pain

I don’t fear the reaper

I ride at his side (hey!)

Fire in my ribcage

Grinning at the sky

When the black doors open

And the earth splits wide

I don’t fear the reaper

I’m already alive

Grave dirt on my tongue

Tastes like every vow I broke

Names carved in my lungs

Every sin a brand of smoke

He reaches

I stand

“Take a seat

” I say instead

If this is the end

Why’s my heart still beating red?

I don’t fear the reaper

I ride at his side (woah)

Fire in my ribcage

Daring him to try

When the black doors open

And the stars all die

I don’t fear the reaper

I’m already alive

Step in the circle

Boot to the threshold

Meet your reflection

Eyes burning jet cold

If this is your hour

Spit in its face

You’re more than a number

You’re more than erased (yeah)

I don’t fear the reaper

I ride at his side

Fire in my ribcage

Screaming at the night

When the black doors open

And they call my time

I don’t fear the reaper

I’m already alive

Already alive (hey!)

Already alive
