Count your breathI already counted mineThe reaperI don't run, I arriveYou spend your whole damn life just trying to stay aliveThe reaperNo deal, no bribe, no running fastEverybody's first day was always gonna meet their lastI'm not cruel, I'm just on timeThe scariest thing about me is I'm patient, and I'm kindI don't chase, I don't rush, I don't ever lose the trailEvery clock that ever started is a letter in my mailKings and beggars, saints and liars, all the same to meI'm the one appointment, baby, that you never get to fleeThe reaperI don't run, I arriveYou spend your whole damn life just trying to stay aliveThe reaperYou can run a marathon, you can lock a hundred doorsYou can buy the finest doctors and the strongest of the curesI'll be waiting on the far side with the patience of the stone'Cause the one race never lost is the one I run aloneSo live it loud, live it full, that's the only thing to do'Cause the only way to beat me is to make the life count trueTick, tock, the borrowed timeTick, tock, the bell will chimeI've walked through every kingdom, I've stood in every hallI don't care about your money and I don't care for your crawlI came for the philosopher the same as for the foolI'm the only law that never bends, the only honest ruleDon't fear the dark that's coming, fear the daylight that you wasteEvery hour you spend in terror is an hour you can't replaceI am not the villain, I'm the period at the endThe reason that the moment is a thing you can't pretendFear me less and live the more, that's the secret in the darkThe reaper makes the candle worth the burning of the sparkSo when I finally come for you, and come for you I willI hope you meet me standing, I hope your cup was full to spillI hope you loved the people and I hope you took the chanceI hope you spent the terror on a reason and a dance'Cause I'm not the thing to dread, I'm the frame around the goldI'm the reason that your one wild life is precious to beholdThe reaperI don't run, I arriveYou spend your whole damn life just trying to stay aliveThe reaper
