The Reaper - As It Is, Aaron Gillespie

I’m staring death in his eyes

I watch the world cave in

Drain like the colour from my skin

Is this real, is this really happening?

I used to sing his praise

But now there’s no sweetness in his name

He’s been dying to show me to my grave

Now what I see and what I dream

They don’t align (they don’t align, they don’t align)

Now face to face, my mistakes

Come to life (They come to life, will I survive?)

I feel the floor give way

Nothing but he and I remain

And I see the expression on him change

He leaves my wrists untied

Offers his hand and he tells me to decide

Now I’m begging him let me keep my wasted life

Please, it’s not my time

Now, what I see and what I dream

They don’t align (they don’t align, they don’t align)

Now, face to face, my mistakes

Come to life (They come to life, will I survive?)

Now, what I see and what I dream

They don’t align (they don’t align, they don’t align)

Now, face to face, my mistakes come to life

Now, what I see and what I dream

They don’t align (they don’t align, they don’t align)

Now, face to face, my mistakes

Come to life (They come to life, will I survive?)
