The Reaper


The reaper it comes and it goes 
As it passes the wind begins to blows 
It picks up the innocent and carries them to their grave
And it gives the family no time to say goodbye and wave 
He can take his time 
Or he can take you at the drop of a dime
There is nothing we can do to stop him
As he takes out hearts and tosses them 
As we take our last breath 
We say hello to death
