Follow the Reaper Complete Lyrics

Follow the Reaper Lyrics

[Intro]
"Death be not proud
Though some have called thee mighty and dreadful
For thou art not so"
 
[Verse 1]
Losing the war I'm feining to win
Though I never tried to to strive deep from within
Life could be beautiful for anybody it's for
But I'd swear this mothafuckin' shit is rotten to the core
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The portal has been past and it's time to make a turn
To follow the reaper until the point of no return
 
[Chorus 1]
When your blindly death-raying blade
Sweeps the griefs and fears away
I cross my heart and hope to die
Thy freedom will be mine
 
[Verse 2]
Sinking down in the ocean of severe emotions
Grab a bottle to drink up the pain-relieving potion
But after all, that got boring too
So no matter what happens, I couldn't give a damn or too
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The portal has been past 'til the point of no return
No more lines to cross no more bridges to burn
 
[Chorus 2]
Now when your blindly death-raying blade
Swept my griefs and tears away
I'd never go back to cross that line
I cross my heart and hope to die...
 
[Outro]
"I was only 21 when I died"

Everytime I Die Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The faint blaze of the candle
Of my life slowly dying
Like a fire in a pouring rain
No sparks of hope inside
No shooting stars on my sky
On broken wings, no flying high...
 
[Chorus]
Another night, another demise...
Cadaverous wind blowing cold as ice...
I'll let the wind blow out the light
'cause it gets more painful every time I die
 
[Verse 2]
Out of strength to fight
I cannot take another night
I cannot take it no more
Lust of light slips through my fingers
Like blood on my arms
Black candle wax has buried me...
 
[Chorus]
Another night, another demise...
Cadaverous wind blowing cold as ice...
I'll let the wind blow out the light
'cause it gets more painful every time I die

Hate Me! Lyrics

8 ContributorsHate Me! LyricsI was born in ashes of molten hatred
Raised by demons in abodes of the dead
The Reaper's scythe I fall upon to light my path
Wrecked by mangled wounds of life
I have become become the resurrection of the Evil one
Y'know that I don't fucking care if I live or die
 
I need a bishop preaching fire
To get away with my sins
I despise everything I see
 
Ain't got respect for humanity
Never lived or wanted immortality
The Reaper's shadow I fall upon to obscure my path
Every day I'm being battered up until I bleed
You motherfuckas just leave me be
Ya could never give me cure for the pain I feel inside
 
I need a bishop preaching fire
To get away with my sins
I despise everything I see
I don't give a fuck if ya hate me!
 
Led by the Reaper I walk in the night
Show me the way to yer kingdom come
 
 
I believe in armageddon
I've been baptized in alcohol
Embodiment of Antichrist
I'm living for my own demise
 
I was born in ashes of molten hatred
Raised by the demons in abodes of the end
The Reaper's scythe I fall upon to light my path
Wrecked by mangled wounds of life
I have become the resurrection of the Evil one
Y'know that I don't fucking care if I live or die
 
I need a bishop preaching fire
To get away with my sins
I despise everything I see
I don't give a fuck if ya hate me!
 
Led by the Reaper I walk in the night
Show me the way to yer kingdom come
 
I believe in armageddon
I've been baptized in alcohol
Embodiment of Antichrist
I'm living for my own demise
 
If you hate me!
