From the recording On the Mend
Lyrics
I escaped the reaper, death's not my keeper
Do I fear death? I guess, just like the rest
Ain't gonna lie, I don't wanna die
Here comes the reaper, with another try
I escaped the reaper, but I ain't no mind reader
I escaped the reaper but he's gonna try again
I escaped the reaper, dig my hole deeper
I escaped the reaper but he's gonna try again
]
I stared into the dark with unyielding fear
The cold touch of death drawing oh so near (so near)
But I had a fire burning deep inside
A will to survive, refuse to be denied (ooh-yeah)
I escaped the reaper, it wasn't my time
I escaped the reaper, and I'm feeling fine
I escaped the reaper, wish I could explain
I escaped the reaper, but he's gonna try again (try again)
I escaped the reaper, I escaped the reaper, I escaped the reaper,
I escaped the reaper, but he's gonna try again
(The Reaper’s gonna win)
Ain't gonna lie, I don't wanna die
Here comes the reaper, with another try
I escaped the reaper, but I ain't no mind reader
I escaped the reaper, but he's gonna try again
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, escape the reaper
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, gotta stay one step ahead
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, 'cause I won't go down without a fight
