Messin with the Reaper

Messing With The Reaper - ld57

Sometimes you get a happy ending 
Sometimes you just go down in flames. 
At that moment, face the mirror. 
There’s the guy who gets the blame. 

Well, I don’t count on happy endings. 
I think prayer’s a waste of breath. 
I’ll face the fire of my decisions. 
And some day I’ll pay that debt. 

The Reaper’s standing in the shadows. 
The Reaper’s waiting at the door. 
I’ll keep messing with the Reaper 
‘Till I can’t do it anymore. 

I know a man in my position 
Should bend a knee and start to pray. 
It’s hard to follow that tradition 
When you got one foot in the grave. 

In a hole and digging deeper. 
But I’ve lost my fear of death. 
I’ll keep messing with the Reaper. 
Till I take my final breath. 

I know a man in my position 
Should ante up and make amends. 
It’s hard to follow that tradition 
Cause I’m not much for giving in. 

I’ll keep messing with the Reaper.
