Life is a list that I keep in my hands Cross off your name when you have other plans Dirty business at my finger's will I make beating hearts grow still Life is gift that I'm taking away Inescapable tax that you pay Was chosen for this, but not at will I wish I could trade all my powers that kill Can't be the reaper and feel love I am emotionally dead inside You can run and you can hide But make no mistake I will find You, because I see everything all the time I am a god, I have unlimited reach I'm looking for souls You better look for a preacher I'll never give up until you're down on your knees Begging, wishing and pleading for a release Can't be the reaper and feel love I destroy everything I touch Can't be the reaper and feel love I destroy everything I touch
