2 s The Reaper Lyrics[Verse 1]
I have witnessed a man
Resplendent in his decay
A testament to the ages
His ghost is trapped within
A father to his sons
Left in filth and ruin
The light of his soul is cast
And the reaper waits
[Chorus]
How can he go? How can he leave?
When the cross is bearing down on
Let him be, just let him be
The dying man is he
[Verse 2]
In a world of sinners
Who wears their shame?
No crown of thorns
Just broken shattered dreams
The tide has turned for all
Yеt he soldiers on
A memory of a timе and place
And the reaper waits
You might also like[Chorus]
How can he go? How can he leave?
When the cross is bearing down on
Let him be, just let him be
The dying man is he
[Verse 3]
On bended knee he weeps
With his arms raised high
An angel in his turmoil
The promise of eternity
A golden path is open
Fire ignites the sky
Yet he bides his time
And the reaper waits
[Chorus]
How can he go? How can he leave?
When the cross is bearing down on
Let him be, just let him be
The dying man is he
