First Impression of the Grim Reaper

by No Need For A Name   Apr 6, 2006


My first impression of the grim reaper
Was to run away and try to save her
I had to be faster then death itself
If I failed at this I'd go straight to hell
Now hell is starting to be full
Yet the grim reapers come to collect his toll

(Chorus)
Can't you see now I can't win
The line between life and death is very very thin
Please don't expect to live on
Because I am here
Please don't expect to live on
Because I am here

He works his magic
Life's just a pageant
Winners stay and losers go home
Sorry to tell you but you'll to go
The grim reaper's working his time
You'll have to go now sins a crime

(Chorus)
Can't you see now I can't win
The line between life and death is very very thin
Please don't expect to live on
Because I am here
Please don't expect to live on
Because I am here

I guess this is it
God damn the way it is
Can't control the way the mirror works
Reflect back on life
Remember all the times
Where you never you'd be hurt
The grim reapers got to do his work

(Chorus)
Can't you see now I can't win
The line between life and death is very very thin
Please don't expect to live on
Because I am here
Please don't expect to live on
Because I am here
