The Reaper Came Riding My Name
TitanChord
He didn’t call me by the road I chose,
He rode the name the wind still knows
I heard his boots, I heard his flame —
The Reaper came riding my name
The Reaper came riding my name —
Through the dust, through the fire, through the rain
I didn’t run, I didn’t break —
But he came riding my name
Yeah, the Reaper came riding my name —
And I ain’t bowed, not today
He chased me through miles where the dead don’t sleep,
Through rivers too red, through trails too steep
But I held my line, I stayed the same —
While the Reaper kept riding my name
The Reaper came riding my name —
Through the dust, through the fire, through the rain
I didn’t run, I didn’t break —
But he came riding my name
Yeah, the Reaper came riding my name —
And I ain’t bowed, not today
I asked him, "You call me, but do you know my road?"
He said, "Boy, I ride what you’ve never showed"
But I burned that trail, I set that flame —
And still, he came riding my name
The Reaper came riding my name —
Through the dust, through the fire, through the rain
I didn’t run, I didn’t break —
But he came riding my name
Yeah, the Reaper came riding my name —
And I ain’t bowed, not today
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
He didn’t call me by the road I chose, He rode the name the wind still knows I heard his boots, I heard his flame — The Reaper came riding my name
The Reaper came riding my name — Through the dust, through the fire, through the rain I didn’t run, I didn’t break — But he came riding my name Yeah, the Reaper came riding my name — And I ain’t bowed, not today
He chased me through miles where the dead don’t sleep, Through rivers too red, through trails too steep But I held my line, I stayed the same — While the Reaper kept riding my name
The Reaper came riding my name — Through the dust, through the fire, through the rain I didn’t run, I didn’t break — But he came riding my name Yeah, the Reaper came riding my name — And I ain’t bowed, not today
I asked him, "You call me, but do you know my road?" He said, "Boy, I ride what you’ve never showed" But I burned that trail, I set that flame — And still, he came riding my name
The Reaper came riding my name — Through the dust, through the fire, through the rain I didn’t run, I didn’t break — But he came riding my name Yeah, the Reaper came riding my name — And I ain’t bowed, not today
