The Reaper
Embracing the Reaper's Shadow: A Journey of Fear and Longing
Lyrics
You said you needed blood
You communicated a need for blood
You said you needed mine
You specified that you required my blood
I need the space to run
The speaker desires space to escape
Before I run out of time
Expressing urgency to escape before time runs out
cm I the only one
Questioning if the speaker is the only one
Longing for the light?
Expressing a longing for light
cfraid that death will come
Fearing that death is imminent
cnd take me into the night
Concern about being taken into the night by death
Call the doctor, I'm afraid
Urgent call for a doctor, fearing the arrival of the Reaper
I fear the Reaper's on the way
Admitting a fear of the impending presence of death (the Reaper)
When the moonlight hits the blade
Describing the moment when moonlight illuminates a blade
The Reaper's on the way
Confirming the Reaper's imminent arrival
The Reaper's on the way
Reiterating that the Reaper is on the way
I'm praying to the throne
Praying to a throne, possibly a symbol of higher power
I'm praying to the sky
Praying to the sky, suggesting a plea to the heavens
I'm praying all alone
Expressing a lonely prayer
No, I ain't ready to die
Declaring an unpreparedness for death
I said I needed love
Stating a need for love
I said I needed life
Expressing a need for life
I need a token from
Desiring a token or sign of the divine
Some measure of the divine
Seeking connection with the divine in some form
Call the doctor, I'm afraid
Repeating the call for a doctor, fearing the Reaper
I fear the Reaper's on the way
Reiterating the fear of the Reaper's impending arrival
When the moonlight hits the blade
Describing the moonlight hitting the blade as a significant moment
The Reaper's on the way
Confirming the imminent arrival of the Reaper
The Reaper's on the way
Repeating the statement that the Reaper is on the way
Call the doctor, I'm afraid
Reiterating the call for a doctor and the fear of the Reaper
I fear the Reaper's on the way
Expressing continued fear of the impending presence of the Reaper
When the moonlight hits the blade
Repeating the description of moonlight hitting the blade and Reaper's arrival
The Reaper's on the way
Confirming once again that the Reaper is on the way
The Reaper's on the way
Reiterating the imminent arrival of the Reaper
