When the Reaper Blinked, I Chose to Live
TitanChord
I saw the reaper staring me down,
Cold eyes burning, no mercy found.
But in the silence, the moment slipped,
And I felt my soul refuse his grip.
When the reaper blinked, I chose to live,
Took back the time I thought was his.
Not a bargain, not a gift,
When the reaper blinked, I chose to live.
The night was heavy, the fire low,
I heard him whisper where I’d go.
But I clenched my breath, I held my ground,
And in his pause, my heart still found.
When the reaper blinked, I chose to live,
Tore down the chains I thought were his.
Not tomorrow, not the past,
But a moment born to make it last.
(Wordless vocal hum echoes like a prayer)
When the reaper blinked, I chose to live,
Not the grave, not the dust, not his.
I carved my name where the sunrise is,
When the reaper blinked, I chose to live.
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
I saw the reaper staring me down, Cold eyes burning, no mercy found. But in the silence, the moment slipped, And I felt my soul refuse his grip.
When the reaper blinked, I chose to live, Took back the time I thought was his. Not a bargain, not a gift, When the reaper blinked, I chose to live.
The night was heavy, the fire low, I heard him whisper where I’d go. But I clenched my breath, I held my ground, And in his pause, my heart still found.
When the reaper blinked, I chose to live, Tore down the chains I thought were his. Not tomorrow, not the past, But a moment born to make it last.
(Wordless vocal hum echoes like a prayer)
When the reaper blinked, I chose to live, Not the grave, not the dust, not his. I carved my name where the sunrise is, When the reaper blinked, I chose to live.
