Love Me ’Til the Reaper Knows My Name (*)
TitanChord
I seen the Reaper on the hill tonight,
Counting souls by candlelight.
He smiled at me, said, “Boy, you’re late,”
I said, “She’s the reason I’m still awake.”
You can keep your throne of bone and flame,
But love’s a fire you can’t contain.
Heaven weeps when sinners pray —
But we just love the devil’s way.
Love me ’til the Reaper knows my name,
’Til the dust forgets, but our hearts remain.
If he comes knockin’, don’t you hide or run —
We’ll out-sing death ’til the mornin’ sun.
I traded my soul for one more night,
To hold your hand in dying light.
The sky went red, the ground took flame —
Still whispered, “Love me ’til the Reaper knows my name.”
No cross can break, no grave can chain,
What lives in blood and burns through pain.
When the moon hangs low, we’ll dance again,
Where even angels fear the rain.
Love me ’til the Reaper knows my name,
’Til the stars fall down and the sky turns gray.
If death should come, let him understand —
He can’t take what was never in his hands.
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
I seen the Reaper on the hill tonight, Counting souls by candlelight. He smiled at me, said, “Boy, you’re late,” I said, “She’s the reason I’m still awake.”
You can keep your throne of bone and flame, But love’s a fire you can’t contain. Heaven weeps when sinners pray — But we just love the devil’s way.
Love me ’til the Reaper knows my name, ’Til the dust forgets, but our hearts remain. If he comes knockin’, don’t you hide or run — We’ll out-sing death ’til the mornin’ sun.
I traded my soul for one more night, To hold your hand in dying light. The sky went red, the ground took flame — Still whispered, “Love me ’til the Reaper knows my name.”
No cross can break, no grave can chain, What lives in blood and burns through pain. When the moon hangs low, we’ll dance again, Where even angels fear the rain.
Love me ’til the Reaper knows my name, ’Til the stars fall down and the sky turns gray. If death should come, let him understand — He can’t take what was never in his hands.
